Ok so I know this is an old thread and I have been off the board for quite a long time. I am drinking a bottle of my Fiero right now at the 3 year mark, and I have to say this is without question one of the best if not the very best kit wine I have ever made. Looking forward to getting back...

So it’s been a while since I have made a wine kit. Still enjoying some of the kit wines I made 3+ years ago. RJS Super Tuscan, CINT Nebbiolo, and Syrah, and the WE Fiero to name a few. My question is how do the new condensed kits add up to the old larger kits? Not looking for tweaks as I know...

Ok no problem. Just please let me know. I definitely want one.

I will take a 25L. How do I go about paying for it?

Hi Fred what type of barrel are these? American M? I have 6 but could use another one.

Couldn’t resist buying a Cab today to go with the Zin I ordered Monday.

I have had the Fiero in a barrel for 2 weeks now and I have to agree, this is going to be a fantastic kit. I’m thinking of getting another one in case it really is a LP item

Thank you

Just ordered a double skin Zinfandel. I was also going to order 2 but wanted to see how these are first. Did not read anything about it being a pre order. When are they supposed to ship?

Our spoiled boy Davinci. He’s a big mush that loves everyone.

Without question. 1.00 like Winemaker81 stated is sweet to me also.

I made a Fiero kit that would not go lower then .996.

Can anyone tell me if RJS EP Pinot Noir still comes with RC 212?

This is what I do. Not saying it’s the best or even right for that matter, but it’s worked. Everything gets washed in One Step or Oxy (No scent). Bottles and fermenters always get sanatozed with Kneta. Fermenters pour half a cup of solution in seal it for 15 mins or longer and let the vapors do...

All that being said, for anyone wanting a very good fair priced kit, that has given fairly consistent results then I still believe the Cru Intl series is a great bang for the buck and will miss them when they are rebranded. I’ve made the Nebbiolo “style” 2x, The Zinfandel “style”, The Syrah...

Just opened a bottle of this wine at 14 months old. I made a double of it last year. Used 4x4, FT Rouge. Sat in oak barrels 4 months. Used a very small amount TRE (.1g per gal) about 2 months before bottling. I am very pleased with this wine and think it will get better.

RJS EP Kits all contain 2 grape skin packs. As far as the oak I’m pretty sure it’s 2 packs though I know I added more and tannins when I did this kit last year. I did 2 together that are about the 1 yr point. Sampled one bottle. Very good but definitely needs more time.

Yup exact same spot on my 2.

I honestly can not give you one negative. I love the ones I have. Right now I have 2 Cru Intl Nebbiolo kits in my 15.9g, a Fiero one of my 7.9g and a EP Aus Cab/Shiraz in the other. All going through 8 week EM and I don’t have a worry with them in there.

I also bought them from HBO last year. They are not listed this year and I’m guessing they won’t be.
