I love this as it really gives you a feel of different processes that different brewers use to make their wines (which will effect the finished product)! I will finish off my step by step pictorial process of making my favourite brew, Cranberry and Raisin Champagne tomorrow, so Ill put that...

Some of my various wines fermenting, as well as some of my rhubarb plants and stalks!

Theres now a thread for finished off beautiful bottled wine pics. How about a thread for pics for every other stage of the process. I love seeing the ingredients, the must, the must in primary, discarded pulp, the different stages of secondary, maturing, before finings, after finings...

How did you do the dragons blood labels? They are fantastic! What sort of wine is it?

Cranberry and raisin champagne is probably my favourite! Will have some ready on Saturday!

Are there any brewers from Liverpool on here?! Id love it if there was a wine circle here! Ive started a Facebook page for it too! /www.facebook.com/HomeBrewBottleSwap

I really don't understand why commercial wine (in the main) has to be made from grapes! I live in the UK (where we don't have many vineyards and much wine making), but I have been making rhubarb wine (often with other fruit / juices) added, and they are absolutely great! As we all know here...

I made 4.5L of some really nice apple wine (500g rhubarb, 500ml white grape juice & 3Kg Cox Apples). As I used Cox, the wine is at SG 1.000 but has a really sweet taste. I therefore think that it would be really nice making it into a champagne, but once the fermentation had finished (about a...

Hi guys, Does anyone have any opinion on the Gervin Yeasts for use with wine please as I have just bought a load (as well as a few other brands)?! I asked WineWorks what the quality of Gervin yeast was in comparison to their tubs of general wine purpose yeast as I have just bought a tub...

WHat are Gervin Yeasts like? I thought they were supposed to be good but someone I contacted was slagging them off the other day!?

Thanks guys, I've ordered some various yeasts it experimentation! Happy new year!

Thanks for the replies folks. I'm definitely going to trial different yeasts now! Are certifying yeasts better fr white and reds or is it more specific than that?

I haven't yet experimented with the various yeasts on the market. I know many wine makers would say that yeast is the most important ingredient for fermentation, but does it really make that much difference to flavour, especially in wine making?! (I know that certain types will allow a higher...

Im a really keen home brewer, and love all things home brew, and have read about the old "wine circles" where people would meet on a regular basis with their new tipples, and try each others brews. It sounds such a great way of getting to taste new recipes and techniques. With the decline in...

We have all seen recipes for leaves from Oak and Beech trees and blackberry bushes and flower wines from various plants, but I am just not convinced of these, so wondered if anyone had tried any of the classic recipes for these wines and if they are worth doing? I have tried making dandelion...
