    Another great video, thanks Hugh / Fiona. This is one I'm going to try. I made some parsnip wine following another recipe you posted and it was absolutely delicious, so I'm looking forward to trying this. It sounds like the kind of drink that would be great as an Xmas aperitif.

    A kilo of ginger, Oh boy, I dare say if you didn't grow ginger you wouldn't make this recipe, ginger is damned expensive in AU to buy at the supermarket, unless you love ginger wine then maybe you'd do it. Here in AU we have a brand of ginger wine called stones and its ick, booze heads get it cause there's lots of alc in a 1.5lt bottle for cheap but needless to say, great video, Hugh!! Cheers

    That’s really interesting and it sounds like a wine that I’d love to try. It’s great to watch it being made as my wine making has only previously been done from written recipes and you’ve shed a lot of light on terms and language of wine making that I didn’t understand (pitching the yeast for example!). Interesting about using a heat mat too as I also live in an old and cold cottage. I have had very good results with rhubarb, blackberry and plum wines but as I’m aiming to make a demijohn every month, I’d love to see what other seasonal ingredients could be used over a year. As always, your enthusiasm is infectious, many thanks 👍

    What an absolute coincidence, I'm starting a ginger wine tomorrow for next Christmas and your video pops up this evening. I'll give your recipe a go Hugh. Every blessing for 2023!

    Great video. I make Ginger wine but generally use white sugar. I'll try the dark sugar next time! I use a couple of my home grown cayenne peppers and bung a brown banana in for good measure. We really love it as a sipping wine on a cold evening. I don't stabilise, I kind of keep it going by adding in syrup until it gives up fermentation… Eventually. I have it in my pantry where it gets warm and cold depending on conditions, so starts and stops over a few months.

    Cool video! I'm definitely not far along on my homestead to be making custom wine (I only have 6 chickens, some meat quails, a rosemary bush for adding flavor to turkeys and such, and a dying lemon tree) but still interesting to learn stuff like this.
