Have fun. for winemaking

Excellent set. It doesn't take a lot of grapes to make a gallon (about 5 bottles) of wine. Next are the instructions and ingredients for making a second batch of grapes from the grapes you used for the first batch. The guide features easy recipes that cover the basics without getting bogged down in the excessive wine snob chaos. There are recipes for all types of wine. You'll probably want a second glass jug, but you absolutely don't need it. You will need bottles, a capper with corks or screwโ€ฆ

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Negative impression

Great set for beginners but instructions can be found elsewhere

This set is very good value for money and includes everything except bottles and fruit. Some parts are cheaply made but work. The instructions are very vague, like someone made them in a hurry. The instructions need to add some steps and indicate when to add each ingredient. The book that comes with it isn't very helpful unless you want to blend fruit and make a specific mix. Otherwise the book contains no further information. As this is a beginner's kit I would suggest they write theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Expensive

Good work. Missing parts.

I wanted to use the set before leaving a review. For me as a wine novice, handling the set was quite easy. The recipes provided weren't very helpful, but there were many resources online that might help with this. I really wish it had a hydrometer and a mesh bag instead of a cloth. However, I found that my kit does not include a mini siphon. Normally this would only be a 1 star deduction from me as the rest of the kit was intact but I've been looking for a way to contact the company about thisโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • No color required

Beautiful, but there are problems

Wine yeast was dead in the packaging I used. I have so many types of bread yeast in my house and I kick my ass for not using any of them because they all seem to react to warm water and a yeast cap occurs form on the surface of lukewarm water. The "wine yeast" that came with this set did nothing. I thought maybe because it's a special type of yeast it doesn't need to be activated the same way, so I wasted a huge amount of our garden grapes just to have absolutely nothing pass through the mainโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Not sure

Good starter kit, one or the other can be retrofitted

Overall I am satisfied with the purchase, the first batch was not long in coming. I have a few small comments that might make this book more appropriate for those of us who are just getting into the hobby. Overall I'm happy with the number of custom recipes in the booklet and I have enough stock to make a large number of batches and have pretty much all the additives needed for most styles of wine in reasonable amounts. Since I'm impatient, I'll probably order a few more bottles to start moreโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • For seniors
