A recipe sheet for the VineCo Wine Kits using a Kegland 27L Tri Conical Fermenter

Fermenting

  • Clean and sanitise all equipment.

  • Empty contents of juice concentrate bag into fermenter. Rinse the bag out to ensure all of the concentrate is in the fermenter.

  • Dilute up to 23L with non chlorinated water.

  • Mix thoroughly, measure the SG and record.

  • Add yeast.

    • Hydrate yeast following the packet procedure

  • If your kit contains oak chips/grapes* and you want to use them, add now.

  • Ferment for 10 to 14 days keeping the ferment between 20 - 25 Deg C.

  • Once the SG has stabilised below 1.000 the ferment has finished. Measure and record the SG for Alc calculations.

Maturation - If you are not maturing your wine progress to Settling

  • Add Potassium Metabisulfate / Potassium Sorbate package..

    • Mix in water before adding to tank whilst stirring gently

  • Rack wine to secondary vessel or oak option.
