2. Hi, the wine looks wonderful! Is it possible to apply the same method to other flowers and fruits, for example to make lavender wine or strawberry wine?- I think I will give it a go!

4. There is such a thing as 'brewers yeast', I searched everywhere online but only found it by chance in a local brewing shop (Allans Home Brew- Middlesbrough). The brand I have is Munton's gold. Don't use a normal wine yeast in place of brewers yeast it will take longer to finish (6-12 months). Hope this helps!

5. Hi Nick When you say a moulding melon do you mean you added a whole melon chopped pieces skin and all in to the bucket for the first part of fermentation before straining into the demi john? was it quite a dry drink? Any idea on how alcoholic it was? Nice to see some one got some good results on this!! Cant wait! x

7. Hi there! last year I brewed a similar gorse flower wine, but added a moulding melon that I won from a fair - it had a fantastic honey flavour to the finish and was extrenely drinkable. One of the most successful white wines I've made. Loved the carrot and pine beer experiment, will give something similar a try in the future.

10. Just made this lovely cake, although I used half the amount of oil it still turned out light and moist. I did make one mistake, I let the honey boil so some didn't soak in but it formed a thin toffee like layer - really nice.

13. Hello there, I thought the show tonight was fantastic! I have been wanting to brew some of my own alcohol ever since I watched your episode with nettle beer home bewing. However, much as before, I can not find where to buy 'brewer's yeast'. I have also noticed that some websites advertise separate yeast's for red wine, white wine, beers and ales. Could you please clarify this as I'm DYING to try this Gorse flower recipe! Thank you Odhran
