I decided it was time to make some wine here on YouTube! In part one of this series, I show all the items that come with a standard wine kit, explain a little bit about what they’re for, and then we get to making a batch of wine. For this video, I’m using the Vino del Vida Chianti kit from RJ Spagnols which I do happen to carry at BIY Homebrew Supply.

We start off by cleaning and sanitizing all the equipment (with sodium metabisulphite) and then rinsing well. Next, we add our bentonite to warm water, add in the grape juice concentrate, top up with RO water, add our oak addition, and pitch the yeast. All the while enjoying a great beer and exploring introductory wine making.

Be sure to check out part 2 of this series, where we’ll pick up at the end of week two, where we begin the stabilizing and fining processes.

Cheers!

Joe
