So, I have my first wine kit going. It's going to be a long time before I can really try and even longer before I can (hopefully) enjoy it.
What I would like to try is to make smaller kits that are made to be drinkable in a few months rather than a year plus. Not to mention, I have minimal storage space until I buy another house.
So, I figured making small fast kits would be a good way to learn the ropes faster while I wait on the long term ones. I suppose that means fruit wines which makes me a bit nervous since some fruit wines that I have tried I wasn't all that fond of. That's okay as long as I don't have 30 bottles to plow through or go bad before I refuse to drink it.
Anyhow, for a small batch kit. I have the Master Vintner's six gallon kit with a few upgrades. For a small batch kit, what else do I need? Just 1 gallon glass jugs and maybe a smaller fermentation bucket?
Next, are there recommended kits that are small. I was looking at the Island Mist kit that I thought was a small kit, but it's not. (black cherry pinot noir sounds really good too )
Anyway, I could really use some recommendations.
Thanks in advance!
