Harris Filters

Important announcement:

It is with deep sadness that we have to announce the death of Mr Robert Harris, founder of Harris Filters, Harris Homebrew, homewinemaking.co.uk and Shop4homebrew.

Mr Harris started the business in 1971 and actively managed it until April, when he was diagnosed with a fast growing brain tumour. Following a short illness, he passed away Sunday 12th May at 6pm.

Mr Harris developed the business enthusiastically and always operated a policy of honesty, integrity and excellent customer service. His background was in nuclear science and he applied his skills to invent and manufacture the first wine filter available for home winemaking. He went on to design several products which are sold world wide.

The funeral will be held on 24th May 2013 and as a mark of respect, the shop and business will remain closed during that day. We will open again Saturday 25^th and will be then closed Bank Holiday Monday, reopening as normal on Tuesday 28th May.

Today there are many thousands of enthusiasts making wines many of which are comparable, or even better than, commercial products. Standards are steadily rising and many winemakers are making wines of such high quality, that they are only too happy to share them with absolute pride.

A glass of homemade wine is a tradition of old English hospitality that your guests will always appreciate. However, remember the virtues of moderation ... home made wines are often surprisingly high in alcohol content.

You can start by using your own fresh fruit or that gathered from the many pick-your-own orchards and fields that are open to town dwellers, where there are many fruits to choose from. First-class kit wines can also be made by using grape concentrate that is available from your local home winemaking stockist.

By using grape concentrates, you can make wine that originates in many parts of the world, bringing to your table a truly international flavour. You can choose to make dry or sweet wines, light or full bodied, white, rose or red.

Winemaking can be a novel experience in its planning, making, tasting and by the sharing with others, adding to the joy of having a good time with good company.

Nowadays, the quality of home made wines are better than ever.

The items described on this web site are available from your local homebrew specialist. Whatever you need, please use and support a specialist shop.

Unfortunately, we realise that nowadays many winemakers do not have a local homebrew specialist shop, which concerns us because  there is a need for the winemaker to maintain continuity of supplies.

We can supply mail order but only in cases where there are no known specialist shops in your area.
