Fook that you slag, i've just had a sneaky cheeky look and it's all gonna need more filtration.

The good news it's starting to clear up.

9 litres of gas have been released from a 2 litre concoction.
This must be a serious brew!
Gonna have to put it down the end of the garden incase it explodes overnight.

Ahh...fermentation was far from over when you bottled.

We'll keep an eye on the Liverpool Evening Standard for any local explosions.

Local Chef/DIYer tries his hand at home brewing and destroys Corrie street set.

I gonna have to!!
This is ridiculous, i've created a monster with this latest batch "Black Bruce".
2 litres of must has created 12 litres of gas so far!
It's worst than Dill n Jacks arses after an all you can eat buffet session

This is what I've gotta contend with, carnt be arsed nursing this potentially explosive situation for the duration. Gonna lock it in the outside shed.

A few hours later..

Ready to pop like Dills gut

I thought you'd bottled already.

That was the first batch of redcurrant, 4 bottles!
Never had this problem with the redcurrant, maybe the earlier must container had a leak...

Those first four bottles are sitting pretty in the shed/wine cellar. Starting to lose there cloudiness already.
On the job learning process this...

Oh, I didn't know you were on another batch. Yay, 2nd batch!

or

Crosby Stills and Nash.

Wooden Ships is the song...


The lyrics that I hear every time I look at this thread.
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven't got sick once
Probably keep us both alive

Hope nothing blows up Chitty... Best of luck...

It's just a bit of fun, no need to get all morbid on me.

Now where's that ruddy bottle? Tis thirsty work

Experimentation and progression practice.
Learning tools as you go.

You'll get it down - perhaps not this batch, but the next.

Home brews [of every description] are almost always trial and error process.
....and amazingly fun.

One might take a different tact and try a distilling process with your lovely berries.

Best to ya, silly cunta.

Or a different tack and try distilling, as I've already suggested.

Except that distilling without a licence is illegal in UK. And the requirements to get a licence are quite prohibitive.

Really? That's a good bit of info for Chitty if he was considering it. I guess, then, that the counter-top electric stills are a banned import? Maybe not, because they're used for distilling water?

NZ it's legal to brew and to distill, but illegal to sell alcohol without a license.

Good news the Black Bruce fermentation gasses have stopped.
Over 15 litres from 2 litres of grog!
Shall be bottling that bad boy at the weekend.

Next up is Victoria plum wine, any suggestions for a name for this vintage?

Purple Death.
(The real name of a wine bastard once upon a time sold in NZ)

Here ya go. No copyright infringement as it hasn't been sold since the vintner died of cirrhosis decades ago.

So how's the wine experiment going Chitty?
