Demijohn – How To Use And Care For

Demijohn care is vital for winemaking. Ensure you sterilise the demijohn before use with sterilising solution and clean with warm soapy water after use, once washed sterilise again and cover the opening with cling film (ready for storage), this will stop the ingress of any foreign bodies and or bacteria. A demijohn will help you make 4.5 lites of wine, the new modern Demijohns hold 5 litres, which after loss from racking leaves you enough for half a dozen bottles of homemade wine.
