I took a Rosso Magnifico kit from Ebay $44
I added :
Water to 5.5 + gal.
2.5K D'uva Merlot grape skin pack in (strainer bag with oak)
1 cup Light toast American Oak chips, boiled, added the water too
1/2 tsp tannin
46 oz can Alexander Red Zin to get to 1.098 sg (instead of sugar)
1 1/4 tsp Peptic enzyme
EC-1118
Total cost $83. The Must is much richer because of the Alexander addition. I thought I would only need to use part of the can of concentrate, but I needed all of it to get the sg up.
Trying to emulate the more expensive kit on the cheap.
I'll post updates
