That's very kind of you, thank you!

@@teresamariebennett5430 Hi Teresa, that would be an excellent subject for a new video

Thanks do much Linda!

Got an interesting blackcurrant based project coming up next week Mick ...

@@GERTYUG I either degas by gand with a paddle or use something akin to Ritchie Degasser

You are very welcome 🍷🙂

Enjoy 🍷

You're very welcome!

I must admit ghat I love Marmite!

@@EnglishCountryLife I’m a Vegemite fan. Apparently the difference is celery. There are a few videos out there explaining how they’re made commercially which I think is enough info to give it a try on a small scale. Of course they use beer yeast so if you use wine yeast that’s bound to change it a bit, but that might be really interesting to experiment with too. Once I move I’ll be making a few wines for cooking and maybe the odd glass and I’m definitely going to try some kind of yeast extract just for fun 🤩 Actually I really like Bovril too and it’s really hard to find here and ridiculously expensive, so I’ll probably try my hand at that one day too.

That's a good idea Zoe - thank you

I think its sensible to wait almost 5 .... minutes 😁. Genuinely its fine as soon as bottled but most will improve as it ages, so try some straight away but leave some for later too

Hi Mark, generally with 1 gallon batches, I find the two rackings are sufficient to degass 🙂

We will add it to the list!

Hi! I'd suggest looking into bentonite . It's a mineral clay that's very useful in settling out particulates.

Really appreciate the advice, thank you. Made a note! All the best.

@@MarkyBigSmoke Always enjoy chatting with like minded people 🙂

I don't at present but I do have home cider making if that's of interest?

No problem, if this is something you do in the future that would be great. We will watch the cider video and continue to enjoy your other videos. Thank you.

@@ssahasrara6832 I will definitely make one in the future, it's a great idea!

Here's the cider process The juicing would be the same for wine kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zs5xfZiJ0L3YfIE.html

Hi Julie, I haven't filmed mead yet, I really must get around to it!

It's drinkable straight away, will be nice by Christmas and even better at a year old.

Yup, when the gas stops passing through the airlock is the easy way. It's definitely work clearing the wine and storing it in something air tight, it improves both flavour and keeping.

Good morning and thank you! You most certainly can reuse them. I hand wash them with just a squeeze of washjng up liquid to remove any trapped particles. With elderberry they are going to stain so put them in a bucket if water with a splash of plain bleach overnight. They come up as good as new.

That's brilliant, thank you.

Any time

Hi Brian, You can use bleach on bottles too, just rinse well! Screw caps are fine and good home brew shops sell quality replacement caps

@@EnglishCountryLife thanks very much. Can i use dried elderberries and follow your recipe? Or are the berry quantities different?

Hi Brian, I generally use fresh as they are so abundant here but normally with dried fruits use about half of the fresh quantity

Hi! Various factors will affect the duration (especially temperature) but it's broadly similar to the eine kits that you are used to

Here you go Beth 🙂. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtF4ZNKHrLzaaJs.html

@@EnglishCountryLife CHEERS Hugh

@@bethkash4068 👍

I've kept elderberry wine for over 10 years and it only improves over that time. It's drinkable straight away but benefits from at least a few months in the bottle

I've not filmed rhubarb wine but I am happy to if you like?
