I plan on starting to dabble in wine making. I am hoping that over the years to make wine from my grapes.
I have never made wine or anything else, nor have I ever been interested. I have researched a bit online, but that is all. I am thinking that starting with a simple wine kit would be a good way to ease into it. Then maybe over the years stepping it up more and more until I am doing it from "scratch".
I want to start by using someone elses juice and wine kit, so I do not have to crush, destem, or press. I would like to start as small as possible.
The only things I think I know is that with a white I won't have the fermentation process I would with a red grape and I will need an area that is temperature controlled, maybe the basement to start?
So I would appreciate any input, comments, advice, or help.
What do I need equipment wise? where is the better places to buy what ever equipment I will need?
Who are some of the premium winekit makers? does anyone know of a good late harvest vidal blanc or vidal blanc ice wine kit?
What will a kit include? Do I have to buy the juice separate from the kit?
Am I missing something?
I really do appreciate your time and input.
Thanks!
