The wine has been left in the capable hands of my mum and last weekend the Damson wine was racked into a new demijohn after fermenting for about 4 weeks. It was the first time mum had ever racked wine and at first it seemed a daunting experience. but after a few phone calls back and forth the racking was successful! yayyy! :D Made sure plenty of pics were taken as they explain better than I can how the whole process went. The pics are shown below. The wine was topped up with sugar syrup and left to continue on its merry fermentation. next up is the apple wine and apple & plum wine!
Apple and plum in the bucket, apple and then rhubarb
Same as above!
