Hello, and welcome to brewing! I've been doing beer and cider kits up til now but have been thinking about giving wine a go. Good luck with your first brew! :thumb:

I always go for the one that I haven't tried before or is most different, so cider, or a different wine.

Btw I saw a post here by some one having problems with a wilko wine kit - he had followed the instructions, bottled after 3 days and it was over sweet. Most kit instructions don't give enough time. I've not done wine myself so I'm not talking from personal experience here.

Hi, welcome to the forum :

Well it all was going well untill i topped it up last night, I did not now water took so long to cool down!

Anyway topped up to 4.5L ish and was looking good as i went to bed.

Not so good this morning, the volcano erupted it has gone up the wall and made a mess but it did smell nice.

Cleaned it up and today will be finding so sort of tray to fit under and fettleing the little red cap on the air lock so if it happenes again it should go down the bottle and not spray the walls.

Maybe cut the bottom of a 25L container to make a tray?

Sorry to hear it didn't turn out. Thomas Edison failed a few thousand times before making a light bulb that was cheap and long lasting. Consider how to do it differently, (maybe post in the wine section), then grab another wine kit and have another go.

Good luck!
