My goodness what time were you out fennel picking this morning.
Does it make an aniseedy flavoured wine?

I have a Wilko strawberry wine kit on the go, and will start a fruit wine from rhubarb and ginger fairly soon.

Finally started my brewing thanks to great advice on here. Hurray! Got two large demijohns of elderflower on. And one empty demijohn waiting to go. Not sure what to try next. Do like the idea of wurzel..

Wilco's half-price 5-gallon Munton's Merlot kit (bargain!).. I've always been impressed by Muntons beer kits so thought i'd give it a go.
As its blackcurrant season I'd like to make some blackcurrant wine, but previous attempts have not been very good. I have 4 gallons in carboys "maturing" in the hope that time will mellow it out. Anyone got a foolproof blackcurrant wine recipe? I could easily fish them back out of the freezer !
