Bit of a far-eastern theme going on!To most people solutions mean answers. To chemists solutions are things that are mixed up.
A fine wine is a fine wine, 1st time may be by accident, 2nd time is by design - that's why you keep notes.

A disappointing evening. I opened a bottle of Mango Surprise. Ominously I got a FFFFFTTTTTT when I pulled the cork. The port was cloudy and had an odd smell (I'm guessing autolysed yeast), and was very fizzy. Not nice
The only conclusion was that fermentation had restarted in the bottle, which was odd because the estimated alcohol content is just under 19% (sugar fed until the yeast gave up, then brandy added) and it sat in a DJ in the summer for 2 months with no sign of activity.
Annoying.
On a positive note, we tried a late-addition tinned strawberry, just a month after bottling. Quite promising.Pete the Instructor

Just checked my 4 bottles of mango surprise, no cork leakage or pushed corks, Slight amount of fall out in the bottle but I'm guessing it either wasn't filtered or it's just aged well.. Will open one tomorrow night I think.
Did you post the recipe up Pete?

I intend on making a big batch of elderberry this year, I was doubtful that I'd enjoy it, but that is one to savour.
Tonight I have been drinking from various bottles and tins from the cupboard;
Tanglefoot, Hen's Tooth, Some Organic french lager that comes in swing tops from Asda (£1.50 a bottle for a beefy swing top), having said that it is a bit tasteless IMO. I also have some 'Neath Black' (a new local brew).
