Humberto! I was stationed at the submmarine base at New London for a few years, and now that I'm down south the thought of shovelling snow leaves me frosty!!!

Welcome to the forum from South West Wales!
I just started making wine and my only attempts to date are from kits but this weekend I hope to start an apple wine (unless anyone has a better suggestion for 6lbs of 'bramley' type apples).
Everyone here is very helpful and I have learned a lot from them and now I really look forward to making a 'proper' wine.
Cheers,
ShirleyComment

Nervous novice
Hello all, we moved into this house almost 3 years ago and discovered we had a vine, up until now, all we've ever had was tiny slightly sour green marbles, but this year, suddenly there appeared big black tasty grapes!! so, a dilemma, eat or drink? no contest, so armed with a list picked from the internet i purchase some equipment, spent a couple of hours picking, sorting, picking, cleaning, picking etc. are now the proud owner of one gallon of white and one gallon of red (er what do you call it) must. So any help or tips would be most welcome.

Hello and welcome to the forum...
Don't be nervous we are a friendly bunch.
A little more information on how you processed them and any measurements you have taken (for example Acid levels, specific gravity etc etc) would be helpful.....
but don't worry if you havent taken or have the means to take these readings, we can work with what we have.
so 1 gallon of red and one of white..well done...now the fun begins.
How did you process (squish) the grapes?
What sort of container are you using for Primary ferment? (normally a bucket with loose fitting lid or towel over the top)
What sort of container for Secondary ferment? (normally a glass jar with an airlock on the top)
You normally need oxygen for the first part (primary)
and no oxygen for the second part (secondatry)
(apologies if you knew this allready)
do you have the grape skins still in with the red?
have you taken the skins out of the white?
there are some free downloads in the links section that may be of use to you
see here
and feel free to ask as many questions as you like..
also use the search function on the nav bar at the top...that can sometimes get you a quicker answer to your query.
Dont let all the terminology put you off you will learn it quickly enough..
A hydrometer is the first tool to kit yourself up with, this will help you determine (with accuracy) when the ferment is finished, and will help you work out what the alcohol levels are.
welcome to the wonderful world of winemaking

Forgot to add...
if you need winemaking supplies here is a list of UK suppliers
(not all suppliers but all I have found so far)
And some do mail order
their MD Paul is a member of this site
Run by Patsy and John..nice people
I have dealt with both companies and can verify they give good service
hope this helps
