Explosive wine

Well, if I could have predicted the weak wine I made would explode, I would have put it outside and watch the plastic corks fly!

Only one bottle so far but who knows, I think they might be not to nice! tasted it but it was funny. I hope thats due to being open for a while and going funny!

Saying that, the other cider is 7% and is ok, funny after taste but its due to being fermented too hot. This time around I have made sure the cider is going slower on a lower temperature, its been very active and this time does not smell bad, third time lucky! well, fingers crossed.

So, another type of drink for me to drink! I love the stuff! I will be doing, red, white and may be beer too. I have just done my rose wine, it looks like vinto but its really great. Its easy easy easy actually, wine consentration, water both cold and hot, sugar, yeast and a couple of other little packets of magic. It started bubbling yestserday and today its gone a little bit madder but by Friday I can add the other bits to take the wind out of it and then Saturday put it in bottles. Thats right just seven days, I get proper nice wine, home made! Cant wait.

So this is the home brew wine:

This post is just a few pictures or whats happened so far, I will on my next batch do a proper how to. I did start one this time but I have learnt alot since doing my first lot of cider. Cider is hard, well, its not but, if you do not follow the clean, slow, nothing hard and fast rule you will be ok.

So please enjoy my pics and be aware that a rule proof guide is on its way! well, if it works for me its got to be ;-)
