Hi all !
I'm not a new winemaker, but one who used to make wine from tinned fruit ( C.J.J. Berry take a bow), when I was first married, and for a few years after, until it seemed most of the wines I did went wrong, couldn't work out why, and gave up, ( crying loudly).
After divorce ( no connection), my life revolves around golf and fishing , until this week when I decide to try again after a chat ( hic) with a guy at the golf club, sooooo I have now got a Youngs Blackberry kit on , as it was reduced to a very cheap £4.38 in my Tesco, and on a whim, bought a tin of mango puree, which duly disappeared into a demijohn , with 1tsp citric acid, enough sugar to bring me up to 1095 and a half cup of medium strength tea. I hope this is ok----
I'm now 58, and we didn't have pc's then, or all this advice on tap ( pun intended ha ha), , so I hope to be able to produce a high class product now ( bloody liar, he just wants cheap decent wine )
I look forward to a rather more rapid and enjoyable learning curve than back in the days of ferment it then drink it. I was never really very good at it, but it was drinkable !
