We bottled our first batch of homemade wine. 17 bottles of Pinot Grigio, my wife’s favorite. Thanks for your instructions!

I’m finding the kit is easier but they make it complicated. They say wait till it does this, then do that! Todd Thank You so much for making it so much easier. They said to put yeast in on first day but hold on till it hits this number on hydrometer then add yeast nutrient. Crazy! Your way lets the yeast nutrient build up your batch to get ready for the yeast so it takes off. All wine makers in family are shocked I’ve learned so much from You. The kit also said fill to 6 gallons then adjust. Why take a chance! Just use the hydrometer and stop when it 12-13%.

Awesome videos! I just started 2 wines this week. A strawberry and an apple wine. Thanks for the recipes and the videos. They're so helpful and my favorite so far.

[dltabrav]

I had a similar kit, the extra juice was called a flavor pack. Thanks for going through the kit, looking forward to part 2!

I like wine, beer and cider kits to up my game in meadmaking. The juice concentrates are really good to add to meads and I’ve only just put malt extract on my birthday present wishlist after getting inspired by a video of a braggot being made using malt extract. The scent of boiling grain is far from being my favourite, so malt extract is a nice shortcut. Another nice perk to kits is that they’ll often include yeasts. It’s an opportunity to discover new types of yeasts and to expand your home brewing vocabulary, as it were.

No need of Campden tablets.
If your containers are clean and dry it's great.
In the beginning air lock is not advisable as your Yeast needs oxygen to multiply.
Cover with cloth.
Most importantly the temperature of your fermentation container must be around 25 degree Celsius.
Simple ABV Calculation is half of your brix. That is half of your sugar content in juice.
But sugar % must not exceed 25% in selected high alcohol tolerance strains too.
Ideally 15% sugar content is good at the beginning. Later on you may feed at the rate of 3% so that the Yeast feast on.
Keep a tab on the sugar additions if your starting material is less in sugar content.
Usually selected high alcohol tolerant Yeast strains have ability to withstand 22% sugar content at the robust activity. Maximum 32% of sugars including fruit sugar will give strong dry wine.

Big fan of yours! What size grommet do you use with your fermentation locks? Thank you!

[bentleygamertv]

Can you leave them in the jug for longer than 4-5 weeks?

[Shotbytomas]

Would you use bentonite for wine kits instead of provided clearing agent?

[kiddeft]

What was the first ingredient called that you added before it needs degassing?

[diverdannyadams]

I been making wine for a few years. I live in Denver. Though about sugar cane wine. Have you ever known anyone to try this out?

[mikeharris]

Good day thanking about starting what the costs of the kits vs buying the fruits. Saw the cost of the kits $70-100

[KenGullette]

Your videos are great! My wife and I started our first attempt today at winemaking with a Wine Xpert Pinot Grigio box. Directions said to fill the airlock halfway with sulphate solution but it looks like you just put water in yours so that’s what we did. Will we be ok?
