Used with Ritchies enhancer, safale us05 and shorted to 20L. 10 days in the bucket, two weeks in the bottle (one carbonation drop/500ml).
Came out somewhere between 5 &5.5%, great body, thick head that leaves tidemarks on the glass. Great stuff. On the bitter end of stouts but that suits a non-nitro imo.
Definitely cellar temp serve with this one, goes straight to the bitter finish when fridge cold, skipping all the coffee/chocolate middle.
Gets better the longer it sits, have a few bottles knocking about that must be a month conditioned, have gotten very complex & rich. would be a great base for an imperial, dump a few kg fermentables and forget about it for a few months.
Would give it 4.75 star if I could, as the pouch can be tricky to rinse with boiling water. Does keep the price down I suppose, and can't knock it a whole star for that.
The elements are under the false bottom, making mashing and cleaning easier. The tap has a safety catch to prevent accidental opening, and the lid is glass, to allow you to see inside. All in all, a sturdy, well designed product. It's not cheap to buy but it is good value.
This was my first ever wine kit, so I wasn't sure what to expect. During the first week I was honestly worried. The wine looked cloudy, had a strong fermentation smell, and I thought I had done something wrong.
I decided to be patient and gave it almost 2 weeks instead of rushing to bottle it. That made a huge difference. The wine cleared beautifully, the fermentation aroma completely disappeared, and the flavour became much smoother.
The final result genuinely surprised me. It won't replace expensive premium wines, but it is absolutely good supermarket quality. Crisp, clean, easy to drink and much better than I expected from my first kit.
My advice: don't rush the process. Give it a little extra time and let the wine do its job. Patience is definitely rewarded.
I enjoyed this kit so much that I've already started another batch.

I brewed this beer last year and it was excellent, great taste and the head lasts a resonable team, I was so pleased that I have decided to do another batch this year.
Excellent quality, best served cold.
I have used Munton kits for years but have recently tried other brands. Unfortunately for the one's I've tried, I am returning to Muntons as they are the best. My only complaint is that they stopped producing 'Directors Bitter' which was, in my opinion, the best bi5ter on the market.
First attempt at making wine. Came out exceptionally well, thank you for your professional supplies. I am a convert.
