Last of the summer wine

[dazza]

I used to do it - only 3 or 4 demijohns at a time but it was all the sterilising I found to be a right faff and messy and wet (don't like getting wet as we know) so I gave up doing it. Did some beer once too but it was crap.

I do all my sterilising in the bath from a bucket and hose off with the shower head. I don't find it too bad actually.
I just make sure everything gets the once over before it comes into contact with the wine.
The painstaking bit for me is the straining through the muslin. There is no quick way to do it and processing so much can be demoralising.
The whole process is I admit labour intensive but the end product is well worth the effort.
