First wine kit on the go :D (Beaverdale Rioja 30 Bottles)

[Shayler]

Started my first wine kit today beaverdale rioja, any one else given it a go?

Good choice. Let it mature for about 4-6 months as it gets better with age.

Thanks, will be maturing it in 5l water bottles until I have enough bottles for it. Also got a Solomon Grundy Platinum Merlot to make next

Bet when you get to the Soloman Grundy you wished you made another Beverdale. :rofl: :rofl:

I started a Beaverdale Rioja (6 bottle ) kit about 2 weeks ago, the initial fermentation took a good 24 hours to get going but once started it really took off. If it turns out well I'll have a go at the 30 bottle kit. :

This is my favourite kit, I have made it many times.
It does age well and if you can leave some for a while you will notice a difference.
However dont assume you cant drink it immediately, I actually think its drinkable as soon as it is clear.
Save some and drink some to compare.

keep us posted, if you are not keen we might be able to recommend another.

I should like it rioja is my favourite wine, trying to find some other Rioja kits and very tempted to try "Selection International Spanish Rioja (6 Bottle)"

The first ever kit I made was Beaverdale Shiraz 30 bottle... still enjoying it now!! They are quality kits. I wouldn't stray far from them and California Connoisseur kits.

I have got a beaverdale Cab Sauvignon to do. I did read that it is best to brew them short 24 bottles, any sugestions.
