 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.

SummaryCUSTOMER REVIEWSCUSTOMER QUESTIONS
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!
Required
Equipment

Fermenter: Food-grade plastic container (27-46 litre) with

Date
SG
1. Clean and sanitize Primary Fermenter, Lid, Wine Thief, Test
Cylinder & Spoon. Make sure everything is well-rinsed before
you begin.
2. Empty contents
of juice bag in Primary Fermenter. Do not add water. While stirring
slowly add Bentonite to juice until dispersed.

20-25°C/70-80°F. Stir vigorously.
NOTE: Some wine kits may contain Oak
powder/chips.
Oak powder/chips – If your wine kit does, open it and add it now.
Stir vigorously.
Dehydrated fruit – If your wine kit does, rehydrate in hot water
and add mixture to primary fermenter. Stir

Oak chip infusion bag (resembling a tea bag) – If your wine kit
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
fermenter.

thief, fill the test cylinder. Record specific gravity (S.G.). For
a table wine it should be 1.074-1.110 (depending on the wine
kit).

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.

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)

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!

I've brewed four of your beer kits with great success, thank you. I live in New York City, and with summer approaching I’m sure the temperatures will be well above 75. Is there a something, perhaps wine, that will ferment properly at higher temperatures? I’m predicting between 80 and 85 degrees. I’ve heard Mead might, but the one Mead I’ve tasted was too sweet for my taste. Any suggestions? Thank . . .

I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?

Had a question about bottle aging--the kit (Chianti)says the wine is drinkable after 60 days but a friend of mine who makes wine from fresh grapes thought it would need a year or so to be appropriately aged. What do you think? Is there a difference between the kits and grape pressing in terms of bottle aging the wine?

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 . . .

Is the bucket that the Bolero wine kit comes in of a food grade quality so that you can make the wine in it or do you have to transfer it to a food grade quality bucket? Have looked everywhere but it does not say.

I bought the Cru Select Limited Eddition kits from you. I am getting ready to move to the stablizing and clearing stage but there is no mention of racking the wine between the secondary and stablizing steps. My question is do you still rack the wine between steps with this kit or just move to the next step like the directions tell you to do. Also which kit do you advise for a medium body red wine. . . .
12/20/2004
--
I was wondering if it is possible to read the kit directions online before purchasing the kit?
The kit I have in mind is the "Vino del Vida Pinot Noir". It would be nice if you had the instructions linked to the kit page.
