The cork holding the syphoning wand nice and firmly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I racked on the quince wine and the rice and raisin wine today.\u00a0 I used my cobbled up solution to bottling with the bottling wand on the end of the syphoning wand.\u00a0 I also found a cork with a big hole that would hold the syphoning wand securely.\u00a0 This worked well until I wanted to tip up the demijohn to get the last bit out.\u00a0 I needed three hands at this point and the situation was not helped by my jury-rigged hose-to-bottling-wand link failing at the same time.<\/p>\n

\"500D_2180\"<\/a>Both demijohns needed a good top up with water, but it did not seem to affect the gravity too much.<\/p>\n

The quince tastes like it will be pretty nice when we come to drink it in a few months.<\/p>\n

The rice and raisin is very very very dry!\u00a0 I have never seen such a low gravity.<\/p>\n
