I've decided to give it a go on a decent sized kit. Getting married in August so thought it would be good by then...
Decided to go for Beaverdale as its for a special occasion and I've never heard anything bad them...
Went for the chardonay, any one tried it?
Any way my couple of questions were...
The kit says its best to start in a bucket and rack at SG 1010, just to check I'm not being daft, this is from the bucket to a normal fermenter yeah? just seemed it might be in the bucket for quite a while?
Also all i've got to ferment are a plastic bucket (youngs 5gal) and plastic fermenter (youngs 5gal) both have been used for a larger i did a short time ago (only time they have been used), i've given them a good soak in a strong chlorine based sterilising solution and after good rinsing they are both odour free... all i wondering is, is my nose good or will the wine pull out some strange flavours? cant really see it myself but what do you guys think?
Anyway cheers lads
