Over enthusiastic fermentation

[Brengirl]

Over a week ago I started a dried apricot wine. One ingredient was cracked wheat. I was unable to get any so substituted wheat grain that I attempted to crack a bit. It had to be left for a week, stirred daily. Today I strained into a demijohn and the damn stuff is fizzing and overflowing everywhere. Goodness knows what it will produce. Do I need a licence?

Don't think you need a licence Brengirl, just plenty of mopping up cloths.

Wow, I've never had one that continued going ballistic after the bucket fermentation. Perhaps you should take a bit out to leave room for the gas to escape?
