Cleaning. Like, cleaning the kitchen? :(

Morning all. Thought i'd share a chuckle with you all....

This morning while playing angry birds on my living room floor i hear a popthudgurglegurgle noise...
So i wander into the kitchen to find a scene not far off mass murder!
Damned red wine kit i made before christmas had blown a cork 12 feet across my kitchen and sprayed the cooker, the cupboards and the floor with a very neat straight line of red wine...!!!

So, i thought i'd pur it in the cleaning section as i have just finished cleaning it all up!!

And no, the wine was more like red champgne than wine! (The other 5 bottles are now in a bunker in the garage!!)

Did you forget the sorbate&sulphite combo? Or was the yeast just too vigorous for that to work?

It was a beaverdale 6 bottle kit and I followed the instructions to the tee. The only thing I missed was the preservative stabiliser E223 & E202 as there was no mention of it at all in the instructions at all!
Maybe beer is the way forward!


Me and wine don't seem to get along!!! Last one I made was a 30 bottle kit that was only good as drain cleaner!!

Aaaaaand I just looked up e223.....sodium metabisulfate.... Buggrit...

Worth lobbing it all in a bucket and adding it or just bin it?
