Just Starting with Wine?
Making wine is easier to make than beer. Using a wine concentrate kit, you will get consistent results without having to boil your ingredients. A little more patience is necessary though as proper winemaking requires up to 6 months.
Wine Yeast
We carry the popular brands of both dry and liquid wine yeast.
Sterilizers & Preservatives
Capden Tablets, sodium and potassium metabisulfite, are used to prevent wild yeast & bacterial growth and oxidation. Ascorbic Acid prevents oxidation and discoloring.
Wine Clarifiers
Wine clarifiers help wine to clear more quickly and can achieve clarity in weeks rather than months. We carry enzyme, bentonite, gelatin finings, isinglass and others.
Acid Adjustment
Use a testing kit or your tongue to determine the acid content of your wine. Low acidity leaves the flavor dull or flat; too much gives your wine a tart or sour taste. We carry all the popular acid adjustment additives.
Stabilizers & Finishing
Stop fermentation prior to bottling with sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate. Use glycerin and tannin additives as part of your finishing. Wine oaking can be achieved in mini casks or with oak chips or cubes. Call us with your questions.
