Classic California Chardonnay One Gallon Wine Ingredient Kit

I have just started making wine from kits. This is my 5th kit. I have tried kits from Winexpert, RJS and Master Vintner. I have yet to make home made wine from fruit (it is on my to-do list). This kit is wonderful! Easy to follow instructions for the beginner. The wine has had great reviews from Chardonnay lovers (I prefer sweet wines), even after only 2 weeks in the bottle. I polish my wine with a harris filter right before bottling.I love the 1 gallon kits, but I am moving up the the 6 gallon kit for my next batch, pink moscato!

This came out fantastic! Wasn't expecting much but this is a great Chardonnay. Only made 4 bottles but it was worth the effort. It is a very tasty wine that looks, smells and tastes like a higher end Chardonnay.

I added sugar water to bring the alcohol level up before adding the yeast. I also added an oak spiral during the secondary fermentation. Just waiting for two or three months to bottle.

Did the 1 gallon, now will do the 5 gallon. Excellent even without any aging. Turns out very dry based on SG reading, so added 1 Tbls simple sugar, (moved SG .002).

Arrived when it was supposed to, instructions were easy to fallow, seems to have turned out good , but needs to age 3 months. So now we wait.

Fine

The 4 ml Kieselsol packet was completely crytalized and unusable.

This would have been the 3rd wine kit I have processed. Admittedly I am fairly new to wine making so user error could have factored in. 1 wine making class and 2 kits have produced great results this one not so much. The wine kit was complete with all the items you need to process a small batch of wine in your own equipment but half way through fermentation it just stopped which left me searching how to fix this wine kit. Reaching out to others for help I learned I should have just used my own yeast from the start. I cannot give a review on taste as I ended up pouring it down the drain. I did give this kit 2 stars due to the fact that it does include everything you need ingredient wise to make a small batch of wine.
