Hi folks
I have very little experience with wine making but would like to give it a go and have recently discovered in the depths of a cupboard (about 3lb in weight) some partly fermented figs :blush: any chance i could add liquid and any other suggested ingredients to help turn them into a passable wine
Cheers in anticipation
:wub:

Thank you arnfields
I shall give it a try but guess I will have to wait several months to give any feedback :)

You're very welcome! Used to make a fair bit of 'country wine' but not had time this year, perhaps you could try a 'tin' of something (Wilkinsons stock them) in the meantime, they only take a couple of weeks. Would be ready to err..test? over the festive period!
Happy fermenting! ;)

Well Arnfields you must have read my mind :lol: I have already placed an order for some starter kit and a can of concentrate :D

Well folks just thought you may like to know the fig wine is drinkable :lol: it tastes like a dry sherry should be good around c*******s time me thinks. hic...... (I didn't want to mention the c word really) :nowink:
