my garage is full of usefull different size bottle funnels , so cheep its easier to make a new one than clean an oily old one ! i found plum wines are the best and my best was the same mix ,,its truly delicious ,far to drinkable . the depth and freshness of flavors is astonishing .
Shortly after that video someone sent me a set of kitchen funnels and I couldn't work out who it was (given that I don't give out my address) and then I realised that it was James and Dee at The Happy Homestead, who are close friends and they sent them incognito! lol
Hi Robin, I don't advise collecting rose hips from plants that have been sprayed with pesticides or herbicides (not even 'natural' ones) for use in winemaking.
@@LizZorab good to know! Thnx! I would grow them myself but my Significant other has serious allergy to the rose/flower.... Love ur videos and all the advice/knowledge u share! Thnk u!😁
Thanks for sending me these links Liz! Oh I remember those bottle top things as a kid! My half uncle, who is 5 years older than me had some of those bottles in his bedroom. My grandparents were devote Christians so knew it wasn't a bong and thought it was some kinda geeky science experiment stuff. lol I bet that is the sort of thing that they sell in Wilko type stores? I have been making apple cider vinegar from apple scraps, water and sugar, for my fruit fly traps. i just open the jar to release the gases but i guess you don't need to with the stopper and test tube thing. Yes i do bad on wine too. I do like red wine on occasion, when my late mother in law used to bring it over or we have it at hers. It's always a thing that i forget to get a glass of water and drink it in between glasses. We only have one small rose type bush out front but i noticed our close friends had loads in their garden at Bonfire night and they don't "garden", so might be able to get them still. I am a bit wary of other people's gardens, when it comes to rose hips as i remember as a kid there was some similar looking things that we used to call "itching seeds pods". It was a common flower bush around council estates that after flowering, would produce these rose hip type pods. Bright red large marble size. We were told that they were poisonous but some of the older kids used to prank the others, with these itching seeds? It wasn't a pepper and it was similar to a rose bush. Are unprocessed rose hip like that in general or is there a plant like this. Any ideas? Love the video description on this btw. How many of the eggs hatched in the end?
Carol Hennis I've never seen it before either, but as I like rose hip syrup I thought I'd give it a try. Who knows, I may have just stumbled upon a winner, or it may be as grim as dirty dish water!
Yup, they are called a demi John here. I think it's great that we are learning the subtleties of each others' language. It's amazing that English has so many variations in different places (even here in the UK there are regional differences.
Think it's that those small jugs are called demijohns and the large ones are carboys. That's just my understanding and they could all be totally interchangeable, lol.
Frozen ones, I picked them at my sister's home last year and put them straight into the freezer thinking 'I'll use those next week' and as always it's months later before I got around to it!
Thank you, so much for sharing, it looks delicious. Watching takes me back to my wine making days in the UK, the US town I live in now has such strict laws about home brew...ugh. It's not easy finding the equipment and if it can be bought one must apply for a home brew licence...ugh. 🙂💓👍
Wow, that's strict! But I also understand that it might be a good thing. The elderflower wine I made last year was awful, but the Mirabelle plum and red grape this year seems very good.
There are some very old homes ẃith hidden speakeasy in them, I looked at a gun nd cräft shop that had a hidden brew room and speakeasy, sadly someone bought it before I could.
Goodness!! What state do you live in Miss June? We're allowed to home brew up 100 gallons a year for one person (and up to 200 gallons for two) for home consumption. Which, we would NEVER even come close to! LOL. We rarely do 5 gallons in a whole year.

Love your fancy funnel! I am going to have try this recipe when my roses "get hip"!

Gonna comb the neighborhood for rosehips this yr and try making wine! 🌹🥀🍷🍾
Lots of friendly neighbors use roses for landscaping 😁

Any rose hips work, I gather from domestic and wild roses, they all do the same job!
Haha, I use the same funnel! Never heard of rosehip wine! That's something!!!
Carol Hennis I've never seen it before either, but as I like rose hip syrup I thought I'd give it a try. Who knows, I may have just stumbled upon a winner, or it may be as grim as dirty dish water!
how much water did you boil your hips in? how many lbs of hips did you use?
mmmmmm, those wines sound absolutely DIVINE!!! Did you call your bottle a demi john? hehe. Here they're called a carboy. fun! lol.

Came back to see your rose hip wine. Did you do a jelly one. ?
Hi what's the cause of headache?? I have the same problem?
Vodka in an airlock. . . wouldn't happen at Happy Homestead! Did you use frozen rose-hips or are yours out already??

Kansas, right on the Missouri River, I think a big part of it are the town laws. This town .
Why not just let the hens sit on the eggs to incubate them, that is what nature intended.
