I've just been out to it now and it's as clear as a bell, just a little sour but still quite fruity i just don't have the heart to pour it away...............

Thanks guys, i forgot all about it again today but i'll be trying it tomorrow. As for a sill, i've resisted building one up uo now.....

I made some blackberry and elderberry wine at the end of August, i juiced the berries and added sugar, water and yeast and it came to around 20l in the bucket. I was going to transfer it into 3 or 4 demijohns to ferment out. Now the problem is i completely forgot about the wine and it's been in the ...

I'm actually going to prime the barrel with 80g of sugar and use the c02 when the pressure has dropped. The valve i bought has a pressure release valve so you can't over pressurise apparently.

I have a budget wilko's pressure barrel i have only used once. I have recently bought a Co2 injection system for it and so i can't wait to test it out with the pale ale i am currently brewing. As i have not used this before i wonder if some one could give me some advise. Do i need to prime with suga...

Hi Andy, I have also been brewing all-in-one single can beer kits, however, i find them a little insipid and cidery even with spray malt and brewing sugar. My next move is going to be trying a "dry" kit once i purchase a pan large enough to use. Possibly something like this: http://www.ama...

Thanks for the heads up, it was the possibility of it being blue that was appealing also. I will give it a miss. Do you have any other suggestions for Borage as it's there every year and it seems a shame not to use it!

I will have a look for one, didn't know how suitable it would be for beer though.

Can anyone recommend a general purpose wine/beer filter for my home brewing?

Thanks

My mum and dads garden is full of borage plants at the moment, has anyone made wine from the flowers?

Thanks

I have some over sweet apple wine that will be good for making into mulled apple wine at Christmas. So could anyone suggest a recipe or should I just have a go at a recipe for mulled cider?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Mike!

Thanks for this i well may give it a go, shame i didn't see it a couple of weeks ago as i will be buying sherry this christmas.

Is this wine drinkable as soon as its cleared? I imagine it gets better with age.

Thanks again.

Stoney

Recipe please Mike?

If you think fermentation over than don't add potassium sorbate or campden tablets unnecessarily . You didn't say what you were fermenting in but if possible rack into a second container and leave the cider to clear under airlock, in a garage/shed it should only take a couple of weeks this weather. ...

Did you add sugar or was it just the fruit?
