And by the way I boiled the water somewhat but didn’t finish boiling it and didn’t pour it on boiling.

Rice Guy Thanks for your lengthy response and the welcome. Well I’m just going to go ahead and add all my bits and bobs now and pray that it will all be good. We have an abundance of cookers. It’s sacrilege but you can’t give them away here in the UK because everyone has some or knows someone...

Sorry yes I havnt added the Campden tablet so I’m concerned now to leave it another 24hrs with a Campden tablet in it, before adding yeast, tannin, nutrient and pectolase.

Also (sorry to be a pest) The recipe has pectic enzyme and wine tannin listed in ingredients but does not tell you when to add, I think it’s just been forgotten when the page was made. And also mentions potassium and doesn’t say when to add that either

Thanks Big Dave. You are most helpful. Fizzing is probably or the right word. I am following a recipe that says after first 8 hrs or longer it should start foaming and then it’s time to add yeast. I’m waiting for foaming, but nothing is happening so maybe I should just add yeast etc today...

Please can anyone advise. I started my apple wine about 42 hrs ago. I made a mistake in not pouring some of the boiling water onto the apples. So was luke warm really. They did seem to be fizzing a bit the next day but wasn’t much going on. And just checked and nothing much occurring. I...

Oh thanks so much : )

Hi I was wondering about this as I get headaches from tannins. Do the raisins you can mix in provide natural tannin if you know? Just started my first attempt ever at wine (apple). I’m not at the adding tannin stage yet & I was wary. I will put minimum in if I have to. Kind regards

Thanks a lot. I bit the bullet and dissolved a pound in hot water and added it. I was just following a recipe but there’s so many different ideas out there it gets very confusing x

Oh thank you so much. Ok so I started it nearly 6 hrs ago. Is it ok if I just mix another pound or 1/2 pound of sugar in some boiled water (when it is warm not boiling) and add it in to my mix? Thanks I’m advance

Yeah I was going to put the lemon juice on then but I got in a tiz waz and kind of just panicked. Many thanks

I read this and this is exactly me haha. Had to check myself getting so stressed over wine making. Hope yours works out.

Thank you. Only thing I don’t have is a hydrometer, I will get one if this works out. As it is clearly important : )

Ps I know I’ve put lemon in too soon, is it going to screw it all up? Why didn’t I check my notes before I chucked it in….arrgh

Hi all, hoping you are all well. I joined this forum as there was a link from a page on how to make apple wine & figured it would be great to look up expert advice. Sorry in advance for length of post! I’ve never made wine before. I’m following a good clear article, however it didn’t mention...
