Homecraft Fruit Wine Starter Kit | 1 gallon

This starter kit will start you on your journey into making wine from fruit. People typically refer to these types of wines as “country wines,” and they grow and harvest the main ingredient.  You can use your own grown fruits or fruits that you have obtained from a shop. This Fruit Wine Starter Kit includes everything that you will need to start making your wine from fruit – you only need to supply the fruit and water.

Can I make other wines?

Is there anything else I need?

Yes. You will need fruit, water and a spoon. You will need somewhere warm (20-24C) for the wine to ferment.

Is there anything I can upgrade to make my wine better?

Yes, you can always upgrade equipment or invest in more equipment as you progress in your venture. A good item is a Vinbrite Wine Filter Kit. This is a filter that removes ALL haze from the wine giving you a professional clarity and shine in the wine. You use it at the end of fermentation just before bottling by transferring the wine from one vessel to another, passing it through the filter. The pad in the filter is very fine, and traps the haze particles. The wine that comes out of the filter sparkles in clarity.
