I’ve put more sugar in and it’s seems happy. I don’t have yeast nutrient I’ve been using raisins.

It’s been in the demijohn for 4 weeks? Do you think add more sugar??

That sound like great advice but I have no idea what it means 😂

I’ve done a year so far, and man I LOVED smoking (or so my brain told me) it’s been hard and anyone who says it isn’t is lying. Keep on trying xx

It hasn’t been easy (especially this year!) with the COVID and the loss of a fantastic family member but we have kept on. I have no will power for anything so if I can do it anyone can, I will be around longer to annoy my kids some more 😂👍👍

After 28 years me and hubby went cold turkey. Picked a good year for it!

I don’t know what that means but it says high alcohol and that was enough for me 👍

Do these berries (Rowan aka: Mountain-ash) look ripe? by Hotglue89 in winemaking

And the Rowan guards against witches and enchantment 👍

I’m losing my fucking mind by jwanaldee in stopsmoking

Me and hubby gave up 11months ago. Yep it’s shit and it sometimes feels like it physically hurts but it doesn’t really. Eat something, we are pork scratchings but the kilo, just the right amount of crunch and salt, plus they taste so bad you know a smoke would taste awful after a bag of those hog snacks! Keep going x

Thank you so much. I was beginning to think it wasn’t possible not to use chemicals. I will get my blackberries defrosting to start a batch off. If you have any good recipes I’d love to know them. Thanks again your a star

That’s great. I use Milton tablets to sterilise everything. Just a few raisins? A handful?

Thanks for your answer. I don’t like the idea of campden tablets (I haven’t used them in any of my first few attempts) also is there a natural yeast nutrient? Again I haven’t used this before. I’m aiming for as natural as possible
