Count me in 😄

I’m in

85g is the norm

The Harris all juice kits are good too. The Cabernet Sauvignon is reviewed in the A-Z

Will do! Comes with hops, two cans, yeast etc, so I have high hopes. Also, a beard and skinny jeans would not be a good look on me!

Just leave it in the warm and ignore it for a couple of weeks, it will be fine!

No contest, spend the extra, worth every penny. I always bag in box too, much easier and it keeps well.

Picked up one of these from Shop4homebrew, their own brand two can kit. Going to start it in the next few days. Just wondering if anyone else has already tried one?

I think you add 85g of sugar. I have one down the cellar, will check in the morning. Rack it off into a clean FV add the flavour pack dissolve the sugar in it, then fill your bottles

Bottled one of these last night. First thoughts..... Is it red, no Is it drinkable? Just about at the moment, let's see in a few weeks if it improves Would I own up to making it, no Could you put it in an echo falls bottle and get away with it? Probably Would I spend the extra tenner and get...

every Beaverdale I have done takes at least 2 weeks, and they smell eggy sometimes. Don't worry it will be fine!

Had a woodfordes sundew and an admirals for crimbo!

True, I was just worried that watering the grape juice down would give you a thinner wine. I have done a few beaverdales, they are good kits, the Barrollo is a favourite!

I wouldn't water it down, just brew it short, to 21 litres to up the ABV a bit, you will end up with a better tasting wine. Better to have 27 bottles of good plonk than 30 bottles of mediocre:)
