I like that The legs are unusual being different from each other - love it! Truly unique.

Yeast does need warmth to multiply, and that is what it does - feeds on the sugar as it multiplies, and produces alcohol.

So can I re-ferment it? And if so, how?

It's more the lack or seeming total absence of alcohol that is the problem

When I made my rhubarb last year it was very cold and was cold indoors too. Maybe that is what stopped the fermentation? It certainly started bubbling like yours did and was trying to make a mess, but it didnt last very long.

Is it possible to restart the ferment? Or should I just chuck it?

Have just sampled another glass of the rhubarb wine - to be honest, it doesnt appear to be alcoholic at all So I tried the elderflower instead (or as well, really, as I could hardly undo the rhubarb sample before trying the elderflower sample) - now that's potent, if a little overpoweringly elderflo...

Aargh, just when I thought I knew what I was doing on photobucket, they've gone and changed everything. Hope this pic is the right size - it was so easy before with the preset sizes, but I couldnt find them this time Anyway, this is the veg garden with two of the deep beds done. The furthest one has...

Planting just about up to date at last. Peas, Fr beans, carrots, lattuce, radish, spring onions, red and white onions, pickling onions, cabbage, cauli, calabrese, courgette, leeks, swede, beetroot. I think that's about all. Forgot to get any celery seed, so havent planted any of that. Potatoes are a...

It was really lovely - but not quite the knock out drops I first thought. Will definitely need to continue sampling though

I have two other types that I havent started yet either - Welch's Purple grape and Elderflower On first showing, I will definitely be making more this year

Just having my first glass of last year's rhubarb wine. Having never made wine before (used Helen's recipe), I was a little worried. It didnt look like rhubarb or even smell like it. However, although it is as clear as any white wine, it tastes very rhubarby. It's sweeter than I normally drink, but ...

Unfortunately that is exactly what it means, as hens are classed as livestock, even if you keep them as pets. However, it does depend on how the covenant is worded, how long ago it was written and if the other party to the covenant is still alive. We looked into this because we have a covenant on ou...

Hubby is pout this evening and wont be home for dinner so I've done a vegetarian meal (OH isnt fond of veggie food). Barley and red lentil pilaf. Can post the recipe if folk want it - never done it before, but it's absolutely delicious

Groan!

As marriage is until death and Charles's former wife was dead by the time he married Camilla, the fact he was divorced no longer matters. However, Camilla isnt my favourite person and even though I would like Charles to be King, I also hope Camilla isnt Queen. Though she could still be the wife of t...
