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).

Ginger & Lemongrass Wine update

oh this Ginger & Lemongrass Wine is just uber, so if you want to make a delicious wine in time for xmas then click the link and start right away. Like today. If you want it for new year then you have no time to lose. it'll be great for on the table after you drink ...the fizz and a posh bottle. it's table wine quality, really.

Big white, with fruit flavours, especially citrus like (no surprise there), which means acidity (but not too much), astringent, and has body. if you spent around £5 per bottle on a selection of white wines and compared it to this then this wouldn't come last! Next time, more ginger tho. Final gravity 994, which means 11.4% ABV. It's got nice nice balance to it, and i reckon that it'll come together very well in the next few weeks. But right now it's still a delight.

£30 - £50 will get you all the kit you need to brew 6, 12 or 18 bottles depending on how you spend your money. ingredients will cost you about 30p per bottle. You can claw back the investment in your first batch if you aim high and go for 18 bottles, 3 gallons. And that's if you have no kit and have ot buy everything. and in only 6 weeks. I'd recommend this and you won't regret it. c'mon, it's easy, click the link and find out more.


I have 4 empty demijohns now, so the chances of getting another brew started soon are good. Maybe it's time to dig out my foraged frozen elderberries. Yup, probably, so i'd better get to the shops and see what frozen berries they have. Stay tuned.
