Hi.
My name is Chris. I have just started making some wine. Basically I had a lot of excess produce in the garden so I thought I could make something good out of some of it. I have some gooseberry wine, elderberry and blackberry, and apple and raisin wine going at the moment.
I have been following an old book which used to belong to my girlfriends grandfather. I think it was published around 1950. Which is very simple with no mention of any campden tablets, yeast nutrient and mainly uses bakers yeast. I think everybody on this forum will be thinking that these things are required. I will see how they turn out!
I have been reading large sections of this forum and think it is fantastic. I have just started the wine number 1, and will follow with the other tutorials soon.
I have a few questions mainly concerning sulphiting as my girlfriend is allergic to sodium metabisulphate, but I will post that question elsewhere!
Anyway, great site and really helpful advise.
Cheers
Chris

Hi, I'm Ric.
Got into wine about 4 months ago, bought 1 kit then decided I'd like a bit more control!
Currently on the go:
2 Wild plum wines
2 Blackberry wines
1 Strawberry wine
1 Elderberry wine
1 Basic Mead
2 White grape from juice
1 Red grape from juice
1 Orange wine
Where possible I like to pick the fruit myself for these. Trying to grow Blueberry, Loganberry, Raspberry, Strawberry & Blackcurrent to provide free bases for wines in years to come.
Been making my way through various wine sites learning as I go, I find Jack Keller's very useful.
Currently awaiting my parents bringing back 20lbs of Greengages from their property in France for me to have a go at.
I don't actually eat fruit, I know it's bad, I just dont like the texture, decided this might be a good way to get one of my five a dayWith Grape flavour comes grape responsibility

hi all, Im bobby. 27 year old fireman living in worsley, manchester.
just started winemaking this week with a blackberry kit. also started the no.1 tutorial of dry table wine. always fancied a go at making wine as i enjoy drinking the stuff so much. think the site is very informative and very helpful. a good site is made by good members and having a look through some posts the members on here are very helpful and experienced.
once i have the basics i look forward to experimenting and trying to make plenty of wines and even try making cider. nice to meet you all
