Brilliant thanks for that I got them from the shop, now just to wait for the berries to ripen enough. What would I to up with? As I usually find with other packet wines I make (this will be first non packet wine I have made ) that after bottling that it is just short of 6 bottles due to the...

In that link what does it mean by "stabilise" after the 4 month period?

Can someone link me to an elderberry wine please? I used to go elderberry picking with my dad as a kid and really want to make one myself but can't see a recipe. Thanks in advance

Ahh ok thanks for that. Just need them apples to grow now :)

Yeah I'll use my blender, do I need to add yeast? As I spoke to a guy who made cider once and he said there is enough in the skin of the apples to not worry. If so would I just stick it all in the bucket and leave it?

Thanks for that I'll have a look Dont have a juicer lol

Ian trying to condone that I can make from actual apples not shop bought juice, can someone link me one please? As all the ones I can see are for apple juice. My mother in law has an apple tree that always has loads of surplus and I want to make some this year Thanks

Thanks, I just need some brewing sugar as I realised I dont have any left and I am gonna start it

Dude you should write Coopers instructions lol that's so much easier to understand, thank you.

Can I link photo's here? I could add a pic of e one I am getting

The recipie I have is different to a different Ale I made and just want to make sure it is right. It says: Dissolve contents of can and fermentable sugars wit 2 litres of boiling water Top up with cold water to 20ltrs Top up to 23ltrs with hot or cold water (to get it to 21degrees) then ad...

Possible we are thinking of the same thing, I am thinking of a carboy being the small 6 bottle glass thing, is that a demijohn? the one in Wilkinsons has 2 plastic handles and has an air filter fitted to the top and is about 2ft tall possibly

I am gonna make a 30 bottle one so a propper wine bucket would be better I think. Thanks for the help

No it was just a brewing bucket with a clip on lid that I bought from the local Wilkinson's. the recipe didn't say it needed one an airlock, it was a Conkerwood ale I used. I have sterilised it now so it smells of nothing. Probably easier if I just get a wine fermenting bucket as they use airlocks.

I have a fermenting bucket I used it to make beer with, can I use it to make wine with or do I need one with an air lock fitted?

The red was a Merlot, it needs more time to age as it tastes pretty cheap but the white wine which was an elderflower is beautiful can drink straight away. I have 5 bottles of white and 5 red. It's worth it for a quick wine, I want to make one from scratch next. Final reading it came out just...

Yeah I'll let it sitting for a while then read again, the only adding I did was at each stage in the instructions smells good though

Ok so SG was1.130 just took a reading it's 0.990 does that mean its 14%?

Ok thanks, I added water so will add some more sugar

Hey again, just racked it I believe the term is, to another demijohn so it can clear better as there was a lot of crap in the other one from the elder flower, I have seen some people say to "top it up" I guess this means with cold water? This wont water down the taste will it?
