What design mate?.How do you clean those airlocks? I find them an absolute pain so switched to a different design.
Yes. I’ve never tasted a decent home made wine.That book looks very familiar! Although my mum's wine was barely drinkable. The grapes are just left for the chickens, starlings and pigeons now.
You never tasted my auntie Eirwen's elderflower wine, made in the traditional way in an open bowl (no bloody demijohns and airlocks) pure nectarYes. I’ve never tasted a decent home made wine.
Seems to be just rocket fuel to get drunk on
used to make a load of wine as a teenager using the tinned wort you get from (in those days) Boots or Woolworths. Always tasted foul or of campden tablets, but usually hit the spot after a few pints of itWine comes from grapes!
What design mate?.
I soak them in camdon tablets.
They are a pain to use I agree, when using them I crush a third of a camdon tablet in an egg cup with water and use that in the air lock also while fermenting.
Im all for learning or using a better airlock?
