Many people want to learn more about fruit wines, but buying a whole bottle of wine without knowing if you will like it can be a pricey proposition.

The Joy Of Wine Making

leave a comment

Making wine is one of those true art forms that can change the way you look at the world and the people in it. This is because you are truly being in charge of the creation of something grand and of something special, with your own talents and will be fully integrated into every bottle of wine. Each bottle you create will have its own flavour and texture because you created it; it will have special value which a price tag cannot be simply put on and will inhabit the shelves and storage facilities of only the greatest of wine masters as their worship your invention.

Sulphite: The Facts for Winemakers

leave a comment

Brew King Technical Bulletin, July 2003. All Rights reserved. All Brew King wine kits contain metabisulphite, and we recommend sanitising winemaking equipment with sulphite solution. Sulphite works by releasing free sulphur dioxide (FSO2), which inhibits yeast, mould and bacteria.

Sulphite is also added directly to wine after fermentation, to prevent oxidation. Oxidation in wine follows the same pattern in an apple slice exposed to air—the wine browns and takes on a flat ‘cardboard’ taste. Sulphite binds with oxygen, preventing browning and flavour loss.

Using sulfites in winemaking

leave a comment

By Jon Griffin

Many times we are asked why sulfites are used and how to use them. Sulfite is really metabisulfite (either potassium or sodium). Wine kits use sulfites and they can also be used as an effective sanitizer. It works by releasing free sulphur dioxide (FSO2), which inhibits yeast, mold and bacteria. Sulfites have been used for more than 500 years, with the Dutch popularising it’s use by shipping only sulfite treated wines. They found that only sulfite treated wines could make long sea voyages and not turn to vinegar.
