Hard to believe there seems to be only a few videos on making wine kits! Thank you for doing this one - I have the same kit sitting in my closet for months. Been brewing beer for years, but this was intimidating to me until your video. Haha. Great video and very helpful, thank you!
Thank you Gabriel, I am about to make a few more in the next 6 months. Unfortunately they are very time consuming to make so it takes a bit of time. The other video you commented on was an unlisted video I forgot to delete. I replaced it with the edited version around the same time and it has around 500 views. Thanks for the heads up.
Love it, I love wine,my favourite is a durif,I'm gonna make some now,made loadsa beers,distilled spirits etc.Dying to try this now. Love the video,great that you left in the little accidents that do happen,😂😂 Keep it up.
Great video my friend. Basically a 101 in making a homebrew wine kit. Well, as your temperatures rise ours decline. Its getting cold here in the UK. Already single figures during the day and snow predicted in the next few weeks. Hmmm maybe a good time to brew a lager for next Spring lol.
Great video Pierre, really informative. I've considered doing wine kits but always been put off a bit with how long they take with aging. Also the cost of those Wine Expert kit makes me terrified of making an arse of it 😂
The kits are nothing compared to real wineries. I am a commercial winemaker and let me tell you some of our wines take 4 years of sitting in a cool room aging in barrels or bottles before the public could even get access. So kits taking 6 months to 1 year aging is nothing.
@@pilsplease7561 all of my customers say otherwise.. they hate the overuse of sulphates in commercial brews. with a kit you can control what goes into your wine. the best wines are 8 weeks and then aged in bottle for minimum 6-12 months. they taste way better than any store wine period.
@@hopebrewco5840 Sulfites serve a natural purpose in winemaking and guess what yeast produces pretty high levels on its own so even so called natural wine can naturally have up to 150 ppm of sulfites from the yeast so customers are morons who dont know anything about winemaking and are buying into some trendy bullshit without doing adequate research to be educated.
I am just starting to learn about corks at the moment, I am however about to post a corking for the first time video in a couple weeks time if you are interested.
Hi emiq3, the wine has not been to great, it hasn't really gotten any better over time, a bit cloudy. I did make a mistake at the end with the kieselsol spilling most of it on the outside of the secondary. T tste is not too bad I have had better.
@@SimpleHomeBrew Thanks for being honest. I'm just after my first kit wine Port style and it's really nice. I think I'll give a try to next wine expert kit.
I reckon that was my Fermentasourus from a while ago. I gave that one away and I believe that you can no longer buy them. The replacement is the fermzilla and it's a ripper.

Thanks all you need is patience, at first I was miffed with the idea of waiting for the wine to age but it's worth it for the end results.

Whats the game of the fermenter?:)

Over time the sweetness will go and you should start getting peppery overtones
Thanks Henri I Have noticed that with my earlier batches. All we need is time!
Goon bag 😂😂😂😂, would like to see you taste test this out of a longneck wrapped in a brown paper bag mate, behind your wheely bin 😂😂😂😂😂😂
