I like to brew wine; It's only a hobby but I'm obsessed!
This is the place to be if you want to see what another brewer is up to or want some encouragement to start or diversify. I've posted heaps of recipes (clicky) and 2 wine-making vids (here for wine made from cartons of juice blog / youtube, and here for Blackberry wine on the pulp blog / youtube).
If you're new here then do explore, take this link for tips about where to find what you're interested in.

Pomegranate Quickie Wine Update

So what else is news worthy? Remember the wine that was a bit of a dog's dinner of ingredients? Odd cartons of red and white grape juice, with some pomegranate juice too. Clicky for a reminder of the recipe. Well, it's almost clear, but it's doing so very slowly and unless we start decimating the seriously good stuff prematurely then I need this one to come online pronto. Check out the piccie to see how fussy you become about clear wine


So I chucked in gelatin based finings tonight. I seem to remember that it worked well for pomegranate, but I didn't check my notes so don't take that as being gospel truth! I'll be racking, degassing, stabilising, bottling and then drinking it, in a few days! Table wine is all I was aiming for, and that's what I expect to get.
