No, Berrys recipe is a good one for gorse. In fact I don't think I've been unsatisfied with any recipe in his classic book.

Berrys? I beg'pardon, wossat?

CJJ Berry. He wrote some really nice old wine making books that are still as near to being the standard text as there is in coutry wine making. His 'First Steps in Winemaking' is very influential.

There are a lot of recipes in some of his books, but I think we now cover most of the information on site

Just finished !Picked 2 large sandwich boxes of gorse flowers
this afternoon ( insert second-hand dartboard joke here)
thought as i'm in a wine making mood i'd buy some parsnips as well !
so a gallon of each now on the go......with an option of larger quantities if this lot turns out ok.
Anyone else use the 5l plastic water bottles as cheap demi johns ?
87p each, just make a hole in the top to take the bung and bubbler.
