Thank you again for the helpful responses. I've been refreshing the Wine Expert and RJS web sites all spring (what my local store, Keystone Homebrew, sells) and I wanted you to know that it looks like they're going to release a real-deal, French-style Rosé...
This is great information -- thanks a lot!
I have a question: what fermentation temperature are you shooting for when you use 1118? Is there a different temperature you use for reds or whites? I have a fermentation chamber with temperature controller for beer brewing but I never thought to use...
Thank you for the fast and informative replies; I appreciate it. Maybe someone will release a limited edition in the near future.
In the meantime I'll see if my local store has that Glad Hatter line. If the price is right I might just make it to check out this summer.
Thanks again!
Which current kit would produce a wine most similar to a dry, Provence-style Rosé? I searched the forums and found that you can skip the back-sweetening (or add it early so it ferments?) to have it finish dry but I'm not sure which currently-available kit would match the flavors best.
