This is a quick question for the folks living in California, Colorado and Canada, have you ever tried making Marijuana Wine? The reason for the question is that a friend, whose wife is about to undergo chemo asked me if it was possible, with the thought of helping her with nausea and appetite...

Finishing off my attempt at Tea Wine, as usual made a few mistakes along the way. Mainly misjudged sugar quantity and had to split the batch and add more tea solution to the must to bring it down to something manageable. 10 litres of it had rosella and Granny Smith apple juice added and was...

Has anyone mixed bentonite before it was needed? I have pushed cling wrap on to the surface to seal out air and put it in the fridge. Can I still use it after I mix some wine into it from and ready for the batch.

I’ve got a couple of versions of sweet iced tea wine going at the moment and one looks like it will finish with residual sweetness, ie EC118 just can’t process anymore sugar. It tastes like it needs acid to balance it out some, what would the likely outcome be if I add a bottle of lemon juice...

Well in my part of the world we are just starting to climb out of the depths of a long hard winter, some days the maximum would barely hit 20 degrees C and I nearly had to go find a jumper. This all means that shortly, the Mulberry trees will be coming into fruit. I still consider myself an...

Given the acid seen in wine grapes, is this a silly question?

I think this will be my next wine attempt as my ever loving and forgiving wife loves Sambuca and all things liquorice. The recipe calls for boiling 5lbs of potatoes without breaking the skin, you use the liquid as the base. Have to ask why, surely it doesn't add starch to the mix. Can anyone...

This is one of those old generational recipes, my mum used to make it, as did her mum etc. and here I am 40 odd years past my childhood occasionally making it as well. When I was a wee tacker, soft drinks (soda pop?) was an absolute treat that we would have delivered in wooden crates at...

Why did I write the title as “first attempt”, if you read the last thread that I posted around the Super Spicy Ginger Wine you would have guessed already. For those who didn’t read it let me start out the same way. I have conservatively buggered up at least 90 litres wine so far and if you...

Disclaimer: I have stuffed up approximately 90 litres of wine so far, with a quick calculation in my head that is 20 gallons US. So be it upon your own head if you follow this recipe/approach without applying your own wine making knowledge. However, if you are just coming along for the ride...

Hi Folks I have personally stuffed up approximately 90 litres of wine so far and I'm determined to get a better understanding of the process for the future. I am reading as much as I have time to but I keep reading info which is contradictory. I'm hoping the folks on here will share their hard...

My first batch was a bit of a failure, producing an off smell but I'm getting ready to go round again. My concern is that I seem unable to purchase yeast energiser in Australia, will the recipe work without it?? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Can anyone describe what Skeeter Pee is supposed to smell like? Mine smelt citrusy and bright up until day 7 of ferment and then a plastic type of smell started to build in the profile. Is this normal?

My lord, I need this place so badly. Thanks for taking me on board.
