No,no, NO!
Wrong way around. I was at w**k, ready to shut down, pull plugs and get out of there.

Anyway, what I was going to say was that it needs some more experimentation but I'm not convinced all that boiling does much to get rid of the preservatives. I have a brew on the go at the moment which is nearing the end of fermentation but I started off a ‘Basic White’ using white grape juice and apple juice and then added some Ribena when topping up much later in the game.

I've been reading elsewhere about adding the flavour ingredients later in the fermentation process, and that it retains more of the flavour in the finished product, so I thought I would give it a try with a cordial before extending this to country wines. Go easy with the blackcurrant though, just 100ml in the gallon makes a big difference.
