 SHIPPING POLICY: Homebrew Heaven strives to send your
package in the best, and most economical way possible. Within the
U.S., this is normally by FEDEX or U.S. (Priority) Mail. You may
now select the service that is right for YOU. We do NOT send
packages COD, or invoice for shipments.
Orders to APO's/FPO's and PO Boxes MUST use U.S. Priority Mail. Due
to security issues, package tracking is not available to these
addresses. FEDEX and UPS do not deliver to these addresses, anyway.
Any lost packages or damaged products via U.S. Mail to APO's/FPO's
cannot be replaced.
OUTSIDE the U.S.: Normally, we use Fedex International Economy
service. We have found that low cost surface mail is often
unreliable. If you request these services, we will adjust the
shipping and rates accordingly, but will NOT be responsible for
non-delivery. We cannot guarantee delivery of any orders outside of
the U.S. in any case.
LARGE and Heavy Items:
Some items, such as Fruit Presses and Grape Crusher/Destemmers MUST
be sent by commercial truck, and can be expensive. We will be happy
to provide an estimate on those items if you like. The shipping
estimate on the website may have to be adjusted on these items.
Shipments of these items are to U.S. addresses only.
HOLIDAY GIFTS: Our website allows you to specify a different "ship
to" address, so that we can ship your gifts directly to the
recipient. If you want us to send a copy of the invoice to you,
instead of putting it into the box, just let us know in the
"comment" section at checkout.
All shipping rates are subject to change at any
time. We may be required to make adjustments for unusually bulky or
heavy items, and orders that require more than one box. We make
every effort to be fair about this, but sometimes it may be
necessary.

We welcome you to the timeless art that is winemaking! With these
easy step-by-step instructions, you can produce top quality wines
in a reasonably short time – and at little cost. If this is your
first batch, rest assured that you will soon be serving wine as
delectable as the vintages you used to buy at the store. It’s as
simple as following the steps that are clearly laid out for you. If
you have made wine before, you will note that our process varies
little from standard winemaking procedures.
Please read the instructions carefully before you
begin.
Important:
Please Read All Instructions Carefully Before
Proceeding
Before you begin, the importance of sanitation in the winemaking
process can not be stressed enough. Everything that touches your
wine (all equipment) must be sanitized with a recognized sanitizing
solution. Just as important is thoroughly rinsing off all equipment
after the sanitation procedure. Please use the following
instructions as outlined taking care to measure the specific
gravity. This allows the wine to tell you when to proceed to the
next step. If you have any questions beyond these instructions
please contact your local winemaking supply store or call our help
line.
Now, let’s begin!

Oak powder/chips – If your wine kit does, open it and add it now.

does, soak it submersed in 1 cup of hot water for 10 min. Do not
open infusion bag. Add water and infusion bag to primary

gravity (S.G.). For a table wine it should be 1.074-1.110
(depending on the wine kit).
7. Sprinkle yeast over the surface of the juice. Do not

(bubbling or foaming). If this does not happen, call your

Bottling & Corking

NOTE: Only crystal clear wine is suitable for bottling. If wine is
cloudy, wait an additional few days for wine to clear. At this
point you may wish to filter (polish) your wine prior to
bottling.
1. Clean and sanitize the Primary Fermenter, Siphon Assembly and
Wine Bottles. Make sure everything is well-rinsed before you
begin.
2. Siphon the wine into Primary Fermenter. (Filtering
optional)
3. If ageing past 6 months we suggest adding an extra 1/4 teaspoon
of sulphite to the Primary Fermenter to prevent premature oxidation
of the wine.
4. Insert Corks using proper corking machine.
5. Keep Wine Bottles upright for 1 day. Then age Wine Bottles on
their sides to keep Corks moist.
6. Keep your wine in a temperature-controlled environment (less
than 16°C /60°F) out of direct light, for 2-3 months prior to
consuming.
Enjoy!

First, you guys are great and your website is one of the most functional I've dealt with. This winemaking business is good for the soul but now, some of my finnicky friends want organic wine. Do you have access to organic kits or packs so I don't have to wait for the local fruit season to roll around? I can't tell from the info on your site, or the two packs I've tried, whether anything you already . . .
