Hi everyone, my name is Tonya, married with 2 kids aged 9 and 7. I've been lurking here the last few weeks while I get info on making wine. Made it once before from a kit, years ago and never bothered again. This time I want to do it using free or cheap ingredients, will probably do fruit juice as well.
I've been picking loads of elderberries, blackberries and sloes, picked up 4 demijons yesterday from someone on freecycle. I'm already thinking thats not enough because someone else has offered me a load of apples!
I am a member of a few other sites based on old style living, frugal living, downsizing etc and I realised that many of these people make wine and I should look into it. Made jam and chutney for the first time but then realised making wine would be a lot more fun. There's only so much jam we get through in a year lol
So thats me, you'll hear from me again in panic mode cos I dont know what the heck I'm doing!

Hi - I registered a while ago, but recently revisited for some info on degassing.
I'm based in the UK (Cumbria) and have been making wine on and off since I was a student. I can't remember if wine was dearer then, or whether we were just broke. I enjoy using 'free' materials but have been known to splash out on new equipment now and again!! My favourites are elderflower, elderberry, redcurrant, sloe and damson - and plum, when I can get it. I also brew beer from kits for my beerswilling hubby and son.

Many thanks to all for your kind welocme, and, as no doubt you've already noticed, have already started picking your brains!!!

Hi There
I'm looking forward to some new insights of winemaking. My name is Morris and I've been making wine for a year now. Mainly fruit wines. But have done dandelion, carrot and mint. Looking forward to seeing what others are doing. I'm from Ohio.Leave a comment:
