Hi, can I use the grape juice in the supermarket to make wine with this kit? Thanks.

Don, there Juice in the kit, along with all the other ingredients you need, such as yeast, finings, sorbate, etc. what you need is a plastic fermenting pail, a glass or Plastic approved 6 gal carboy, and some other misc stuff. I would recommend getting a starter kit that comes with all that like the one here: http://www.amazon.com/Deluxe-Wine-Making-Quality-Durable/dp/B000FBOWQW it's about $100 at Amazon.

It comes with its own juice, concentrated. But yes, you could use real juice in a supermarket.

This kit has juice concentrate. You can use store bought juice only if it does not contain preservatives that would inhibit the fermentation. Check for sorbate

I do not know what kind of preservatives are in that juice. I use the concentrate and have to add enough water to make 6 gallons of juice and then the yeast.

have never tried to do that the juice supplied is thick in tecture then regular juice

In response to your question about recipie with cook times, the only way I've found is through You Tube or find a local store that sells wine and liquor making kits as a hobby. I wish you a good batch! - Greg

Yes it contains all the ingredients that you need. You need to supply the equipment. Just follow the directions and it will make great wine. I would recommend making a 5 gallon batch instead of 6 gallons for a wine with more body.

Absolutely. We just made a batch this fall using the equipment from this kit and it turned out great. Your local homebrew supply shop should be able to set you up with the apple pressing, yeast, yeast nutrients, and sodium bisulfite. Other than those things, everything you need to make cider will be included in this kit.

Yes, if you purchase the fine basket. With the medium basket that comes with it, there is light pulp depending on how many times you take the expelled fruit through. I take mine through a few times to get all of the juice and because I don't mind pulp, it really extracts almost everything.

If the grapefruit is small, it would work. The large side of the juicer measures 3.5 inches across.

not with the kit. however, there are 1000,s on line to get you going, they are very easy to find. this kit is wonderful for a beginner. ive just gone nuts making all kinds of wine with this. I do recommend buying a cheap kit on amazon or elsewhere for your first batch. that will get you on your feet and let you experience some of the steps in the process with good guidance through the instruction manual in the wine kit.I hope this helps.

I don't think so, this is for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables, you might want a mini-blender or regular blender for that.

depending on where you live, I would look at a wine starter kit on Midwest supply.com or Amazon. This gives you all the things you need to make wine. Hoe much wine are you planning on making. If you are only going to make a few kits here and there, these beginner kits will be good enough. If you plan on making kits on a regular basis, I would upgrade the kit to include a floor corker. I also prefer the glass carboys to plastic, but they are also much heavier especially when full of wine. I really found everything I needed and the best prices at Midwest supply.com. They allow you to upgrade items in the kits and often give you a better deal than buying individually. I think I spent about $350. That will get you started. I make fruit wine from fresh fruit and have made about 30 of the vino italiano kits. I bought more carboys and fermentation buckets so I could do multiple wines at a time. Hope this helps

No this kit does not come in other flavors or diet.. Look on the www and look for ( Home Wine making supply company. ) Get a couple of catalogs and they will have soda making supplies. Yes they have different flavors and the diet kinds also.

I am an amatuer winemaker, and have made wine from my own grapes for over thirty years. I would not do any fermenting in ANY kind of plastic vessel. The only acceptable kinds of containers are stainless steel, glass, and wood. Otherwise, you're going to get a plastic taste, which I'm sure you don't want, regardless of the health issues. Hope this helps. F Heppner

the directions have to be follow, sterilization is need on all the equipment and make sure that your kit is not expired. The bottles has to be sterilize also. The wine can not have to much contact with the air.

The kit comes with yeast and all the perservatives. Double check the box and make sure it did not drop behind the bag of grape juice. You will still need a 6 gallon bucket/jug, a corker, air trap, bottles, The wine kit comes with all ingredients but you still need a wine making kit (supplies) the stuff I mentioned above and some other things.

Yes. I can be used for grapefruit, oranges, and pomegranates. Just don't put too much pressure on the handle and squeeze too hard or you will be able to taste the rind instead of getting pure juice.

I received a "how to" dvd with the kit. The instructions are very basic, if you need more detail you can try a wine making book. I used the detailed instructions that came with my wine kit that included the grape must, yeast, etc.

I am not a chemist, but I would think you could. Some wine is sold in small plastic like bottles. Also lemonade which is very acidic can be served in it. The fruit in Sangria would be like lemons in lemonade. Maybe ask someone with a chemistry background. It woulk LOOK pretty in the container. Have a good summer.
