Selection kits are pretty damn good . . . especially the limited editions

The Beaverdale Kits are OK, especially the Barolo (If you like big dry full bodied tannic reds )

And I bet the Kenridge kits are as good as they sound

I had good results with Beaverdale but the best kit i've used so far is a 2 part kit.
Part 1
Part 2
Instructions
Good results every time!

 

[ricardo]

Thanks for that Amadeus......
I have been following the Wurzels Orange wine......just do not like the sound of it :sick:
Trying to make my mind up the Beaverdale kits get some good write ups and seem quite reasonable cost wise.

Quite a lot of people think that the Wurzels orange sounds a bit weird.
Trust me though, it's a good one. Been passing bottles of this around and every time I get the look when I tell them what's in it. Then the look of surprise when they taste it!
I'm having to do a 5 gallon batch whilst another 5 gallon batch is clearing now.


If you've got a spare DJ it's worth the couple of quid or less to make up a gallon.

..just do not like the sound of it :sick:

Don't like medium dry white wine :wha:

 

[theboytony]

the cantina 7 day rose is a good kit

Wurzels is a very nice wine, looking at the list of ingredients some may wonder why, try it, I dont think you'll be dissapointed and if you dont like it, the people you give it to might?

Both Wez and I are secret wine snobs :whistle:

And another vote, it's ridiculously simple and makes a very pleasant medium / medium-dry white wine. I've given a few bottles out, it has always been well received and my guinea pigs have been gobsmacked when I've told them what it was made from and what it cost, which is usually around 40 - 45p a bottle.

I'll be sticking some more on for Christmas :

I give bottles of this to people who say that home brewed wine isn't nice, I've converted a few for the sake of 50p :party:

[Amadeus]

Welcome to the cult of Wurzels :clap:
Observe all warnings about leaving enough airspace etc though.

Hope you do like it dude.....but even if you think it tastes like dish water, for what it costs to make it sure wont be the end of the world :mrgreen:

As for a good kit I agree with the above, Selection kits are superb :thumb:

Really happy with the Kenridge one-gallon kit that started me off in brewing - awesome instructions which explain the why as well as the how (including photos), comes with a glass DJ instead of a plastic bag, and the wine is good after maturing for a month or two. They include sanitiser, sulphites, the lot.
