I've been looking to make my 1st Amarone and I was very close to pull the trigger and buying the RJS En Premier for $150 or the WE Selection Int'l for about $121.
Someone had mentioned why not wait until the fall and buy a juice bucket instead.
M&M told me they will have 2 types of Amarone 6gal juice buckets:
-Mosti Mondiale Fresco for $98 (The juice is pre-inoculated with D21)
-Imperial Italian for $64
If I go the route of juice bucket, I'd like to add some fresh grape pack to the bucket, maybe 18lbs of Sangiovese (good type?) which is about $18.
Doing the math, if I bought the 'higher-end' juice from Mosti, my cost would be about $116.00, and $82 for the other brand.
This is not including cost of MLF bacteria.
Has anyone made either Amarone from juice bucket, thoughts?
How about those prices?![Slap :slp :slp](/images/smilies/slap.gif)
