I can't seem to find a port recipe anywhere! Does anyone have a decent one they swear by that they don't mind sharing? Thanks!

It's bubbling once every 20-30 seconds now it's settled in the demijohn.

So I've started a new ginger wine as my last one basically turned to vinegar. I added a campden tablet to my fruit mush a day before adding yeast (I don't think this was long enough time to wait) It's hardly been fermenting/bubbling when it's been in the bucket which worried me slightly but I...

Brilliant! Would anyone recommend stirring the wine for the next week (daily) as I've read the sugars can sometimes settle to the bottom and been told this can help stop that. Thank you for all the advice!

Ahh! Well I have Added more sugar, I am not looking to bottle any time soon as it still has a while before it'll clear fully. Do you recommend leaving 'til this fermentation has totally finished, stabilise and back sweeten? And do you recommend brewers sugar or the artificial wine sweetener?

Ahh I feel so much better! Huge thanks for the advice! Nice to see such a friendly community prepared to help a novice! Peace out.

The readings currently stand at .990 maybe just under. It's a 5ltr batch currently in a glass demijohn. I've had a quick look at the white blobs and it does look like yeast.

Hi! Thanks for the advice, they are like small white spots. There is no ginger pulp in it as I passed it through a sieve before adding the yeast. This is the recipe used as it came recommended: http://m.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2012/may/09/how-to-make-ginger-wine There is a...

After a couple of successful attempts at wine making with kits I decided to go rogue and use fresh ingredients. I chose a simple ginger wine recipe and it's been fermenting for about 2 weeks now. Problem is, it seems to have stopped! At first I was concerned that it had a slightly sulphuric...
