    Which is the best merlot wine kit

    When i make it I always leave it about 8 days before racking off for the first time. This makes it easy to degas and makes sure it has fully fermented. Just before bottling I back sweeten it to taste usually around 10 grms of sugar dissolved in very hot water. That bit is the wifes job so never...

    Which is the best merlot wine kit

    I have made that one in the past and it matures very well. Have to say didnt like it much when first done but after 4 months it was excellent. Lovebrewing premier kits are my go to for whites with the Australian style chardonnay being a firm favourite...Hope you enjoy it

    Steve Smith.

    Totally agree. To be honest its pretty boring now. Lets just get on with ashes and create great positive atmospheres at the grounds. Support you team and players and let them deal with the opposition. Steve Smith and co made a big mistake but they have served their ban and definately deserve a...

    Which is the best merlot wine kit

    Hi Bez Not made the Beaverdale merlot but i shouldn't think there will be much difference between the 2... My Beaverdale cab/shiraz needs at least three months to mature in my opinion so might suit your purposes. Let us know which route you go.

    Which is the best merlot wine kit

    I make a lot of wine and provide a lot to friends who are mainly red wine drinkers. My go to for Merlot is California Connoisseur. Drinks well young if needed but also matures nicely and should be perfect for Christmas. My personal favourite red for maturing is the Beaverdale Cabernet/Shiraz...

    T.V Licence - Up to 3.7 million pensioners will now have to pay for it.

    As a pensioner here is my twopenneth worth. We are only talking three quid a week here which covers both tv and radio. I for one think that is good value and am happy to pay. The vast majority of the grey brigade wouldn't miss the three quid and so should pay. Anyone struggling with that amount...

    Help please choosing a full bodied kit

    I think a full bodied red under £30 would be the holy grail and from what i have tried not possible. My favourite red is the Beaverdale cabinet shiraz but as Led Zep says this needs aging for at least 6 months in my opinion. CC merlot is actualy darker than the beaverdale when first brewed...
