This is a wine kit that claims to take only 7 days. I had to special order and ship it from the UK (http://www.thebrewshop.com). ''"!BelVino wine kits are based on dried fruit, herbs, and berries. Fermentation and clearing are both extremely fast - your wine will be ready to drink in only 7 days. All !BelVino wine kits are very easy to make and you only need to add sugar and water."'' __Kit Name:__ !BelVino Australian Red (http://www.hambletonbard.com) %%% __Major Ingredients:__ Dried sloe, elderberries, raisins, oak chips, gooseberries, figs, hibiscus flowers %%% __Expected Quantity:__ 6 gallons %%% __Actual Quantity:__ |{ cellpadding=2 border=1 cellspacing=0 }{ align=center}{ colspan=5 } __PRIMARY FERMENTATION__ | |{ bgcolor=gray style=color:white}__Date__|__Temperature__|__Specific Gravity__|__Titratable Acid__|__Notes__| | 27-Nov-2005 | 82F | 1.072 | 0.19% | [#DayZero] | | 29-Nov-2005 | 72F | 1.032 | 0.43% | [#DayTwo] | | 2-Dec-2005 | 66F | 0.996 | 0.49% | [#DayFive] | <!--ewiki_col_break ["Winemaking Home" WineMaking] %%% ["Winemaking Home" WineMaking] %%% %%% ["BelVino Instructions" http://www.hambletonbard.com/English/Homebrew_Products/Support/BelVino_instruction.pdf] %%% <!--ewiki_page_break !Beginning (27-Nov-2005) #DayZero __Beginning (27-Nov-2005):__ #DayZero Mixed ingredients following the kit ["instructions" http://www.hambletonbard.com/English/Homebrew_Products/Support/BelVino_instruction.pdf]. !Day Two (29-Nov-2005) #DayTwo __Day Two (29-Nov-2005):__ #DayTwo Took measurements, stirred, and covered. !Day Five (2-Dec-2005) #DayFive __Day Five (2-Dec-2005):__ #DayFive Took measurements, stirred, and covered. __Day Six (3-Dec-2005):__ #DaySix Put an airlock on the fermentor so I can more easily see if the batch has finished fermentation ... it hasn't. __Day Seven (4-Dec-2005):__ #DaySeven Still fermenting. So much for their claim to a seven day wine kit. I'm still hoping this will be done early enough to be given as Christmas gifts. |
