Hi folks,
Found this site while searching what to do with my brown demijohns.
I'm a thoroughly lazy wine maker, but generally seem to do ok.
Currently the dining table is stacked with bramble leaf wine which tastes a bit sweet sherry like. 3 buckets of Elderberry wine, 2 buckets of blackberry wine, all with amazing tastes despite being so fresh. I shall dj them today if I can get my finger out.
One demijohn with bread champagne,
One dj with banana, strange and very sweet.
One dj meadowsweet.
2 buckets of hawthorn started yesterday. I've done this one since 2018, and everyone loves it. Never managed to clear it though.
There's also several large kilner jars from 2018, 2019, 2020 with the old sloes still preserved in the remnants of gin. Being a Yorkshireman, throwing anything away is anathema, so they've been sitting in the cellar waiting for inspiration which came a week or so back. I'd also made sloe wine which was ok but not inspiring, so I've tipped the sloe wine onto the gin soaked sloes and I've now got an excellent fortified sloe wine!!
I shall try tipping some of the other weaker wines on the other gin sloes.
