The Fear of the dark thread. It was what brought me to BCUK and I spent a couple of days of my life reading it.

Thanks Red. I did as you suggested and it's fizzing away happily. I tried a spoonfull and although definitely alcoholic it was very dry. I poured a pint from each demijohn (double batch) into a sterilised pan and heated it gently and dissolved sugar into the mixture. I let this cool and then...

I'm trying this recipe as my first attempt at wine making and would like a little advice. I've followed Red's recipe. After reading a little about fermentation I covered the demijohns with clean cloth for the first 48 hours to allow air into them before fitting the airlocks. I used Youngs super...
