This is the 30 bottle wine kit bought for my birthday last month mentioned elsewhere.
Bottled my first six bottles today, had a glassful left over, tasted beautiful , a little sharp but definitely looking forward to later tastings.
I bought a 5 gallon fermenting bin and a heater belt to try to ensure a good result, these worked marvelously. Wine bubbled away, sounded as though there was an air block in the central heating.
I racked it into five demi-johns, didn't see the point of paying £18 for a PET 5 gallon jar for what may be a one off 30 bottle ferment. Then filtered one demi-john three days ago and bottled today. So I have 4 demi-johns put away for a few months ( I hope ) .
