So I shouldn't trust those pop-top glass bottles?
Looks like the juice wasn't concentrated enough, so maybe I'll juice some plums and cherries this year
The pop top ones are great and I love them but it's easy to mess something up and make them pretty dangerous.
If you have a hygrometer you can measure the sugar content of your brew which takes out the guess work, get one of them before glass bottling. Hygrometers are like $10 and well worth having.
Plum and cherry wine sounds divine. Good luck!
