Bloody hell Elbongster, you don't believe in small batches as a trial do you
I mean, that's more than I make in a year, so for 4 months that's a fast bit of work there matey
Hope it all works out for you though, and if it does then you're gonna have to be "a fast drinker"
Oh and welcome.

Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.
rjb 222 lmfaothanks every one for the warm welcome, can i fill in further why so much so fast.
i advertised for wine making equipment on freecycle,to my amazement i recieved over 60 demijohns with stoppers airlocks fermentation buckets heated plate all the chemicals i need, syphon filter,papers yeasts,bottles corks caps and even pressurised barrels all in good order.
there was two people due to age giving up the brewing game after many many years,one old woman has a damson orchard and has given me permission to pick the crop from now on
as you can imagine i have very little restrictions on what i can make demijohn wise ,and i am right in the middle of the countryside and i am a ok at forageing.plus i feel that these people who have been so generous i am obliged to keep them in constant use.
As for the amount of wine, my thinking was if i make a certain amount every year after 2-3 yrs when they have matured correctly i will know what i want to make again or not.
whats gonna nark bob about celery wine
just set of two gall of choc wine to night has anyone here made it before /how long did it last once your misses found out about it/how long did it mature.
i got a good crop of sloes this year and the wife made sloe gin/brandy/rum.she had some left and put them in a bottle with white wine i checked it
two days ago and it has started a secondary fermentation, so to start xmas day we will be having sloe sparkling wine for starters(if it tastes ok).
