Sigh, I thought it might be that. Thanks shirlthegirl43, I need to hide the stuff so I'm not tempted. Might it also be bad that I used bread yeast *coughcough* instead of brewers?The Impulsive Gardener

Does anybody have any suggestions as to what can be made next from the wild?,cheers kev.
As for what's next. Oak leaf or gorse flower are my next targets for experimentation.
Might try pea pod wine too this year. Anyone tried this with purple podded peas?

Wine smelled reasonable enough at racking off stage but on storage for a couple of months went foul. I thought it was the septic tank backing up but it turned out to be the demi of peapod.
Sadly, and rather uncharacteristically for me, as I do try and rescue wines, it went down the drain.

I've just made mine but don't have any brewer's yeast - I have normal turbo yeast for breadmaking - I've googled and this isn't suitable as it has a stronger taste - has anyone ever used it and can verify this - or are there other reasons? You can buy brewers yeast tabs as a food supplement - I take it this is the same stuff - how much do you need?How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.”

First explosion
in the shed!!!
I have my champagne in the shed, in 1 litre plastic fizzy water bottles. And 2 litre pop bottles. They are not bowing at all, but one of the 2 litre pop bottles went bang this morning. There was no signs this mornign when I checked them.
Mess everywhere - bet the ants come now, but no glass which would have been worse. Shed smells great though
I am now a bit worried as I have 2 more 2 litre pop bottles and we are away all next week. What am I going to come home to?
Should I relieve the pressure of them all now before I go?
