Got ya beat Duff, I have wine 8 months old but only 1 bottle left

Welcome aboard Aid

good to see you here, dont worry tooooo much about waiting to drink the odd bottle of each batch, just try to save some, as you will se a huge difference when the wine hits its 1st birthday.

but for now, enjoy

Karl is right though, you need to get production up, its the ONLY way to save enough to age properly

Bob

Ahhhh you must have the patience thing sorted then

[Mamgiowl]

I've got this patience thing sussed. What you do is make a wine that won't clear. Try everything you've ever heard of to clear it. When nothing works, get pee'd off, and stick it at the back of a cupboard and forget about it for a few months. Suddenly find it again, and discover it is clear

I have tonight bottled a mead made in this tried and trusted manner and sippers tasted fantastic. It was started in January 2005 and put in the cupboard a year ago. Not bad, huh?

Don't go to sleep!!!

[lockwood1956]

Yup

sleep causes hangovers!


its true

[Mamgiowl]

So if you can't avoid sleep, top up with the TC as soon as you wake up, you'll soon not care about the hangover - or anything else for that matter. Nice to meet you BTW.

Hello from a keen amateur!!

Hello all...thought I would introduce myself after registereng today.
My name is Paul I'm 31 and I live on the Isle of Wight and have avery keen interest in brewing beer and wine making.
At the moment I have a stout barreled up and some Woodfordes Norfolk Nog fermenting, and though I'm not a huge wine lover I've just done some greengage wine.
I've had some success with some Tom Caxton lager and Yorkshire bitter kits and am becoming obsessive about my home brew!!!
A work colleague got me into this but he is on the later stage of making beer from scratch so is teaching me a few tricks.
I'm hoping to make a mash tun in the next few weeks as my dad in law is a plumber so can provide me with the copper!!
Anyway, I'm sure I will be hanging around a lot now I've found my new hobby.
All the best
Paul

Mr. L welcome to the forum. Great knowledge within these monitors. I have also made my own mash tun but I use a rubber maid 10 gallon water cooler. Just a basic system that will I am sure work if I ever get time to put it in operation. I enjoy the wine making and get bogged down there - sure do not need any more liquor with all the wine that I have.

For your copper tun do you plan to have heat controls to keep the mash at a constant temperature? Cheers - take care on the Isle of Wight; keep us informed of the copper tun project. Welcome again.. DAW

Nice to meet you Mr lil.

'ello ello'

Complete newbie......

Well almost...I had a dabble many years ago with a couple of kits (purchased from Boots the chemists if I remember rightly)

My interest has been re-ignited after a happy accident.
While trailing round a local car boot(following the other half),I came across half a dozen demi johns priced at £3 for the lot..now as this stall was at the edge of the field,the next thing I saw was a hedgerow full of brambles....putting 2 + 2 together,I quickly came up with.....Cheap Booze !!!!!

Back home with my purchases,the next trip was to Wilco's for any other bits I need.......Hmmm..now its not Cheap Booze

A quick trawl through the Internet looking for reciepes/help and here I am .......

And the rest is history

[Zebedee]

Just noticed ...

my address is censored...

But I guess anyone that knows Lincolnshire will know where I am.
