Hi,
I am a total novice, but decided to try and make some Wine off a vine that grows wild at the back of my allotment, here in the UK.
Managed to collect enough red grape juice to fill a 5 gallon container, added brewing sugar and activated some yeast before fitting a air lock and placing everything up in my loft.
It all seemed to be going well, used to check it every day and it was bubbling away nicely.
Then yesterday it stopped completely after about two and a half weeks?
Is this normal?
Do I need to rack it off into demijohns now?
Any advice is welcome, I have not touched it, read somewhere that you are surposed to dunk the crust or something?
Sorry, I am in the dark with all this ;-)
Any advice would be appreciated - ta
