I'm in East Belfast, but they're not cider apples, in fact I've no idea what sort of apples they are but have used them for everything from desserts to currys and just plain eating!

Yes there is its called Natures Way and its on the newtownards road if your coming from stormount then its on the left hand side near the top of the road. They do beer and wine, the husband does the beer side of things and the wife does the wine side. I got my father quite alot of things from it for a retirement present, and now i'm benifiting, only one problem its all white wine he gives me as he drinks the red himself.

Blackadder, I looked for this yesterday and can't see any sign of it? The website is down and the phones aren't being answered. Any ideas???

I have just made a batch of cider, juiced apples, added cider yeast and have left it. Not sure what it will turn out like! How long do you leave it for before drinking?

I called into Nature's Way and they were very helpful. Was talking to some members of Belfast wine-making society down at Garden Gourmet too, they meet once a month to swap tips and ideas if that's any help.

We have a thread similar to this already, I'll add your query to it so all the replies are together. Posts are listed in date order so you'll need to read from the beginning to catch up

If you are unable to source winemaking yeast, bakers' yeast will do. It may not have such a high alcohol tolerance, but you should get an acceptable wine from it.

I phoned Natures Way and a lovely girl sent me out my wine making yeast, really cheapand fast service. i have a gallon on the brew.will let you know how i get on as its just made with grape juice, sugar, water and yeast in a huge plastic bottle with a balloon on top to let out carbon dioxide. may be disgusting but will let you now, got the receipe on the internet on you tube!
