I wasn't using the "timetable" I was just saying the instructions say it should take that long but don't explain it to me when the fermentation is done.. It doesn't tell you what it should look like or what the reading should be and I need someone to tell me that. There's isn't anywhere I can...

Thanks, I've read that page, I know when it's finished where it should be because it has a bottling line on my hydrometer which I used last time for my first kit.. However I still don't understand how to tell if it has finished it's initial fermentation so I can proceed to the next step. It said...

The temp is 19c, The hydrometer reading is by the little 20 mark. so that's 1.020.. Does that help? I am so sorry for being such a woman. :)

It's a Wilkinson kit, I work for the company.. They are a Hardware/general store with over 400 stores in the UK. Near enough everything we sell is 90% Wilko branded and you don't have them in America.. and the instructions are very basic. It doesn't help me out much. The reason I'm trying them...

How do you tell when the original fermentation is finished? My airlock bubbles have slowed down, It's been racing for a like a week.. My kit said that fermentation should take seven days, I'm on day 11 of my Rosé and it's now a slower bubble. I just read that the airlock isn't a gauge to the end...

They are plastic wine corks, you put them in by hand. I sell them where I work.. I sell three different kinds on my department so I plan on trying them all. They only seem to fit one kind of bottle that I have so I have bought some different ones.

I meant in the demijohn with the airlock. Not sitting open lol

I don't have a clue what the size is. It doesn't say.

There's absolutly no bubbles in my wine and there's nothing going on in the airlock. I'm just too pussy to bottle it again so I'm just going to let it sit there for a while. Is that okay to do?

Hey thanks.. and no, It doesn't taste carbonated at all. It's nice, I had a bit to taste. It tastes like a very nice dry white wine. Yeah the stabilizer all went in. No, The bottles were different, Some were very very tight on the plastic corks I used.. Maybe thats it? The two that popped were...

It's perfectly clear. It looks like wine. It tastes just fine.. There is zero activity going on in the air lock. Not a bubble. I sit there watching it just in case.. but nothing.

Thanks to everyone who has replied. I have spent the last year reading up on Homebrewing as I sell it on my department at work and I thought the best way to answer questions was to give it a shot myself and also, I get a discount. ;) Arne, The temp is in the cupboard was 20-25C. It's on an...

Hello. If anyone can give me any advise I would appriciate it a lot. I started making a "3 week" 6 bottle Chardonnay wine kit and my friend's son started making his after me and he has already made and drunk his. My friend has been brewing with her husband for years and I asked her a lot of...
