even if you don't like wine in general, you may like your own
Errrrrrr.................... Why would you make wine if you didn't like it?
Because I have alcofrolic friends and family
Actually, I can drink wine, but it is not my drink of choice... but if I have visitors I will drink with them, or i will take a bottle with me when I go out with friends. Most of my friends are aware of my madcap gifts (eggs, fruit and veg etc) so they won't be surprised if I start bringing home made wine with me.
I also thought it would be a nice present
at Christmas (whoops nearly!) in December. My mum and my aunt and uncle drink a lot of wine, and I often take regional examples home with me for them to try... can't get much more regional than my kitchen lol!
Fill to just under the cap with boiled, cooled sugar water. less air space the better.
Cheers, Tony.
Once the fermentation has settled down, and it has been racked once I will. At the moment if I top up now, it will blow out of the airlocks! The foam is quite happily reaching the neck of the bottles right now
