Has anybody had any experience with these kits. How much juice comes with them, at 7kg pack there must be at least 5litres with it.

Congrats ian you’ll have to post some pics of your first brew with it.

I have 5kg of rhubarb cut up and frozen i’d love to try a rhubarb wine with it but not sure where to start. Does anybody have an idiots guide of the process and ingredients needed please. I have all the equipment needed just not sure of a recipe and how to. Thanks in advance.

Thanks clint i think i have some of that oxi clean stuff somewhere.

How do you all clean your pressure barrels. I plan on using it as a bottling barrel for my next brew as it’s the only one i have with a tap on at the moment and i want to batch prime, but with such a small opening at the top I’ve found it a nightmare to clean. At the moment I’ve put about 5...

sounds just the job, cheers slid

Hi milesey, the kit came with hops for dry hopping, i added the hops on day 12 when gravity was around 1008 and left for a further 4 days then cold crashed it at around 4° for 3 days then bottled it conditioned for 2 weeks in bottles at around 18-20° then put them back in the fridge for a few...

Hi milesey, i recently did a mangrove jacks czech pilsner which turned out very nice and around 6.4%.

I know but where’s the fun in that.

Thanks badger that’s just what i was looking for, I’ll add 500g of brewing sugar and see what the OG is from there and decide if it needs any more sugar. Just wondering if i pitch the 2 yeast would it cause any taste or flavour problems.

I plan on doing a cheap kit brew for a golf trip away with the lads in August so i picked up a couple of the wilko’s geordie lager kits, now would there be a problem using both packs of malt in one brew, that would be 3kg of kit malt instead of 1.5kg. Would this make a terrible tasting beer and...

I was wondering if anybody had tweaked the cheaper kits by adding more juice, maybe supermarket juice, or oak chips or something else, i know the superior wineworks kits have 5.5ltrs of grape juice and I’ve been looking at the Vine co kits which have 8l and 10l for classic and estate kits...

Look forward to hearing how this goes, I’d like to do a wherry next. Keep us posted

Thanks John, good to know, I’ll leave it a good while yet then. This is my first ever wine so I didn’t know what to expect. I’m not really a white wine drinker so any reds that are decent I’d be really interested in doing

Love it

It was the kit that came with the starter kit i think it’s about £35 to buy the wine kit on its own. Im just wondering if it will develop into a fuller wine in the bottle or is that as good as it’ll be.

I’ve just done my first wine kit, a wineworks red wine (rioja supposedly), made to 23l i got 28 bottles out of it, which came with the equipment kit, i bottled it 3 weeks ago after 2 weeks fermenting and around 10 days clearing and conditioning at 12°c. The kit had 5litres of juice and 500ml of...

I’m in, gotta be worth a punt. Flan.

Thanks Galena I’ll bare that in mind when i come to use it.
