Why use Wine Buddy?

The Wine buddy Kit has the ingredients you need to make your first bottle of wine in just 7 Days, the process is simple to follow and makes Home brewing wine feel like you are cheating when you are using this kit. The best way to describe the type of wine you will be making is kind of like similar to a mid-day style of wine, basically full of flavour whilst not suffering as much with a hangover the next day.

Note : When using any kit whether it be spirits, wine or beer it’s vital to clean and sterilise all the equipment you will be using prior to brewing to ensure no contamination in any of the brewing processes and to achieve the best taste possible out of your homebrew.

Fermentation process

It is absolutely critical when home brewing any wine that you ensure you don’t get air into the wine during its fermentation process, when fermenting if air mixes in with your wine then you  won’t get the Deep Red smooth flavour that your look for in a wine, instead you will get a dark red tart flavoured wine-based vinegar,

It’s advised when fermenting that you use some Bubbler airlocks on the fermentation container to help ensure no air gets between you and the delicious wine you are fermenting.

Although not included in the kits I highly recommend using fermentation bins as it helps speed up the fermentation process and allows larger quantities to be fermented.
