Agreed also! Pretty much the same for all Winexpert kits. Follow instructions and it will clear nicely :b

Thanks Digger. Must have had an old link :c

This stuff is gorgeous immediately, but I just tried mine that I finished in November and the difference is amazing after only 6 months. It's wprth hiding away if you have the will power :try

Just picked this kit up today! :try They have JUST arrived in the UK.. 2 months behind you lucky people in the US :d Not made any Portugese wines yet, so looking forward to this one.... Great experience so far with the Ltd Edition kits from W.E

Hopefully should be good! It's part of the "Estate" series, which I hear excellent reports on ;) Not sure if WineXpert having started shipping them in the US yet. My Ltd Edition Portugese Duoro Tinto has arrived today though, so that will keep me busy ;)

Purely by accident I came across details about WineXpert releases a Ltd Edition red and white wine this year. I quite often buy the "normal" Ltd kits, but this one really caught my eye. Selection Estate Small Lot Series 3 CONTINENTS MERITAGE I have ordered one up (a red) but as I am in...

Any loss of wine is a sad day, but thankfully it wasn't that Estate Series! This is my main concern about stepping up to the Estate Series and similar premium kits. You only have to make one mistake and it's hugely costly.

BrewTrax will already give you useful info on the "Dashboard" which gives you an immediate glance on what you have low stock of etc so you can make decisions about starting new batches really easily right now. THe automated route would be a nice add on but I suspect will be overkill for a lot of...

Please tell me that was a "cheap" pinot noir on the floor (and NOT that nice Selection Estate Series box i see in the photos) :slp

Just to say that the whole barcoding/stock/automation is on our "list". I also write and customise EPoS and stock management systems and do a fair bit with barcoding, scanners, inventory control so we will be going that direction with BrewTrax. It's a little way off to be honest but in the...

Thanks for the offer of beta testing Rob. You are now on my list :h You data would be certainly safe. The built in backup functions will allow you to roll back to the previous version and database quickly enough. To be honest we wouldn't release it to beta testers unless it had gone through...

Hi Rob... sorry I have only just stumbled on this thread :d All of those suggestions are in the next release (2-3 weeks time) ;) There will be a fair bit in addition to that too but I will probably start a new thread ASAP so everyone using BrewTrax can see what's coming.

That is a seriously good find. Most places sold out as soon as this kit came out! :try As Wade says, keep it well up on temp (at the higher end that the instructions tell you!). I gave mine a good whisking every day with an egg whisker to beat o2 into it. Tastes great even when you bottle it...

Very nice! Not seen those before. Is it battery operated or just works on syphon?

Fair point Wade. The initial cost of the kit always looks expensive, but when you divide it out and work out the per-bottle costs, it's not as bad as you think. UK price for the Stags Leap Merlot is £99 approx (so, about $155). I usually pay about £70 (approx $110), so we're talking about 1.5...

Thanks Steve, Wade, jdeere. I'll have to consider if I can go up to that price level. Is there really a big jump in quality when you move from the International series to the estate series?

Thanks for the tip on the WE Luna Rossa. I hadn't considered that one at all :)

Which Wine Expert kit to do next? I'm in an unusual situation.... I've got a lot of wine ageing but nothing brewing at the moment! I tend to stick with Wine Expert Selection red wine kits and I've brewed a few now. So, I am looking for some recommendations on which W.Expert kit to do next that...

Ashamed to say I have ZERO wine brewing at the moment! I think I burnt myself out last year. The whole garage is full of Wine Expert red wines bulk ageing. Just tucking in to the WE Choc Raspberry Port, which has gone down very nicely!
