My first batch of mead!! Very basic recipe of honey, water, an orange, a few raisins and yeast. Not tried it yet so looking forward to it!

Sorry wrong pic! That's my mead....here is the real deal-the one on the right :)

My first batch but only 1gallon :( 24,014

Thanks guys! ;)

Thanks but what if It doesn't? Does it mean it's no good?

If I say it correct the hydrometer reading is 1.028 Next to it says 75 sweet? Please help!

Hi all. I put together a canned fruit wine over a week ago and for the first 7 days it bubbled nicely. All of a sudden it's stopped! Should I add more yeast? Cheers

Yes, I am in the uk and yes, I did use water. Used just enough water to dissolve the sugar and will top up again when I transfer to my 1 Gallon demijohn. :)

The pineapple was in juice but the peaches was in a syrup. As for the size of cans they were just normal 410g ones. Only making a gallon so never used that much fruit. I took the lid off the fermenting bin today and smells bloody strong! : ) lol

Hey Dicky! Recipe was 3 cans of pineapple and one can of peaches. 1kg of sugar, Yeast and nutrient, 1 campden tablet, tsp of pectolase, 1 tsp of tannin, 1 tsp of citric acid. This is to make 1 gallon of wine. Like I said earlier, it's bubbling nicely and smells divine! I'm gonna keep it in...

The one I use has a built in thermostat which keeps a constant temp and switches on when it needs and switches off when it needs. It was pretty cheap compared to the amount of hassle you can have. Invest people, invest!

Hey everyone. I've seen a few posts on here about temperature. Why don't you just use a heat mat that gives you a constant temp? Am I missing something?

Hey guys. All the fruit I've used has had no preservatives at all. It's all been 100% natural fruit and juices. I managed to get a buy 1 & get 2 free! You heard...buy 1....get 2....free!!!!! Will keep you all updated. As it stands, it's still bubbling nicely! :)

Just put it in a muslin bag and mashed it by hand! It's a bit of an experiment so fingers crossed! It's bubbling away so at least it's working! : )

Just started my pineapple and apricot wine from canned fruit. Started it yesterday and it's bubbling away nicely already! This is the first time from canned fruit and looking forward to tasting it when it's done : ) Anyone else made any?

I soak in hot water then use my wife's nail polish remover to get the sticky glue off....works a treat!

I would probably say it would be dandelion mead. I'm in the middle of making my first batch of mead now. I put oranges in the primary and took out for secondary but wouldn't call it orange wine! It sounds like a nice recipe though! Good luck : )

Oh right! It was just a thought. Would of been nice to say I made it from not spending a penny! Cheers Daze
