I'm curious about the difference the extra 2 weeks makes between the more basic kits and the higher end kits. Obviously the juice is of higher quality, and in higher quantity, but am merely thinking about the time difference. Both kits will spend c.2 weeks in the fermentation bucket, before...

I've got this kit on order, and it's due this month at some point. It's a limited release so it's a new on me (not sure if it's been released previously). I'm a big Albarino fan so have high hopes, but just wondered if anyone else had done this one yet?

I've only been making wine from kits (generally whites from winexpert) for the past 2-3 years. We generally drink them young because they taste good, so why not! But I like to leave a few bottles of each batch, just to see how they change over time We've had a few bottles recently that have...

I feel like this is a bit of a random question but here goes! My girlfriend gets quite bad eczema and has been undertaking patch tests to work out what her skin is allergic\intolerant to. One of the initial things that has come up is Balsam of Peru (Myroxolon balsmum\pereirae) which apparently...

Hi everyone, I've been looking at all the handy tips on this site for the past few weeks (and possibly months!) so I thought it was only polite if I join and introduce myself! With lockdown originally hitting us in the UK in March, I thought I'd try my hand at a bit of wine making and have...
