Hi and welcome Paddy. Not a kit brewer myself but I think you get what you pay for.

 

[godfrey]

why buy a kit...?

you got any blackberries you can pick ?

apples or pears for cider or wine ?

plum's ?

sloe's ?

rose hips ?

rowan berries ?

Himalayan balsam ?

I would say elderberry, but you will wait many years to drink that one

plenty of things to make free wine this time of year :thumb:

maybe just top up your exploded kit with some juice from the supermarket....
or a load of foraged ingredients...

Original wow. strong black tea for tannin. gelatine to clear it out. if you can't afford the £2.50 or so that it costs to make I can't help you :lol: but do remember, that's how much a GLASS costs in a pub, nevermind 6.5 bottles...

Welcome : You do tend to get what you pay for with kits. But they can make okay house wine. This is especially true for red kits. I have only ever made one white kit, a Beverdale and that was to compare with my WOWS. Other half could not tell the difference, so never made one again.
