Thanks Roger. I think using juice may be a bit of a conceit, so will probably go with sugar.RogerP wrote:I would bottle it now. I'm doing some of mine in the next few days. 1 tsp sugar in a pint bottle, half as much again in a sparkling wine bottle, this is pretty standard. Never tried it with juice.
My experience of the last few years is that you'll get some yeast action if you bottle before June, after the end of August the yeast is defunct and won't carbonate. (This is with a natural yeast fermentation!!)

I've bottled 40 Champagne bottles so far.
