onto the wine now, and over the weekend mum had a chance to rack the apple wine and the apple & plum wine. When i left them in september just going under secondary fermentation, the were very cloudy and clearly had a lot of sediment and yeast suspended in it. Pleased to say that after several weeks fermenting the wine has cleared dramatically as you will see in the pics below! :) following the same procedure as before the wine was racked into a clean demijohn/bucket and topped up with a sugar solution. The air lock were fitted once again and the wine was allowed to happily ferment for another few weeks!

my collection of demijohns. L-R rhubarb, damson and apple. Using plastic demijohns for the first time ever, not a fan. I'd be interested to hear what other views people have on them
