The smell of the cucumber wine is driving me crazy; fragrant wafts of melon. Since melons and cucumbers are both in the cucurbit family the melon aroma is not so surprising.
I shot a film of the collecting carbon dioxide bubbles that you can see Fermentation bubbles It is certainly a very active brew at the moment.
The wine is the lovely yellow / green colour that you can see in the photo above. I think I need to adjust the colour balance for filming purposes because in the video it has come out as a dull brown/red.
Here you can see the wine fermenting away and the constant bubbling out of the airlock Home brew fermenting A friend who was staying woke up in the night and heard the gurgling though didn’t find it to disturbing. When the water in the airlock was a little high it was more like a splashing fish tank.
I can’t wait to try it out; a few more weeks in the demijohn and then when I am bottling a taste and executive decision on whether to crack straight into it or wait a little longer.
