After an enforced break from all types of brewing I've finally had time to get back into the swing of things.
So in an attempt to keep swmbo and her mates in wine for at least part of the summer (well a couple of days), I've made up a gallon of each Wine No1 and No2 with Cellar Rat's white yeast, using the original recipes.
Instead of placing it in my fermentation cupboard (an old kitchen cabinet with a lightbulb wired to a room thermostat) at my usual 20C or so, I've stuck both in the garage. This is around 12c and the yeast is fermenting as well as the kv-1116 I've used before.
It's a long way from being drinkable but it's looking good so far
I've been asked to make some Turbo Cider so I'll give that a blast with teh yeast as well
Thanks to Cellar Rat for the yeast, it looks like it'll be a great general purpose yeast.
