You will notice some packaging changes, such as the juice, which is now packed in a pouch or bladder (Platinum range) rather than a plastic bottle or jerry can.

This means the juice is nitrogen flushed, ensuring the juice doesn’t deteriorate as quickly resulting in an improved finished product.

So, although we’re slightly sad to see him go, as the old poem goes,“...this is the end of Solomon Grundy”. Here’s to the journey ahead with SG Wines!

SG Wine Platinum Kits FAQ'S Information

Question, What if my wine does not start?

Answer, Do a few checks on the wine like temperature, if adding sugar check to see dissolved, give it a stir, try adding more yeast

Question, How do I know the wine has finished fermenting?

Answer, The only real way is to use a Hydrometer and the gravity of the wine, the airlock will also slow/stop bubbling and little or no activity on top of the wine. It take about a week to ferment.

Question, Why my airlock is not working?

Answer, Sometimes the lid of a bucket or fermenter does not seal 100% and CO2 will escape the easiest way it come, bypassing the airlock

Question, What is my wine is not clear ?

Answer, if you have added finings to the wine, moving it to a cold place can help, but try to avoid disturbing the sediment. Wait a day or two, as making wine does not always follow the timing in the instructions. Did you de-gas the wine before adding the finings? try adding more finings.

Question, My wine is taking along time to ferment?

Answer, Wine does not always follow the time scale in the instructions, as the wine could be too cold or even too hot. As long as its fermenting it is fine, If not and you done all the checks, then try adding more yeast
