This all started after two of my children (Charlie and Polly) gave me a home winemaking kit last Christmas. Cheers, kids!
Here are my two demijohns - wonderful objects to handle, and functional as well! The one on the right contains a batch of Pinot Grigio that is nearly ready to decant and drink. The other has a batch of Shiraz that I've just started fermenting. The previous batch of Shiraz was nice - sweet and not too alcoholic. My first home-brew batch was Chardonnay and was as good (in my unrefined view) as any shop-bought one. One of these days I'll get a suitable sampling container to use with my hydrometer, and then I'll be able to work out how strong each of my homemade wines is.
