FAQs

Does this kit require extra sugar?

No, the Cantina 5 Day Wine Kit is formulated to be used as-is by simply adding water.

Can I serve this from the box?

Yes, but please note that wine bags are not included in this kit and must be purchased separately.

How much wine does this kit make?

This kit produces 21 liters of Shiraz Merlot.

Is 5 days enough for the wine to be good?

Yes, the kit is scientifically balanced to ferment rapidly, though resting the wine for a few extra days can sometimes improve clarity.

What equipment do I need to buy separately?

You will need a fermentation vessel (bucket), an airlock, a sanitizing agent, and storage containers like bottles or wine bags.

Is this a Shiraz or a Merlot?

It is a premium Shiraz Merlot blend, combining the bold characteristics of both varietals.

Troubleshooting

Fermentation has not started

Check that the room temperature is within the recommended range and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to create an airtight environment.

Wine tastes overly yeasty

Ensure the wine has been allowed to settle completely after fermentation and use a siphon to avoid transferring sediment from the bottom of the vessel.

Airlock is not bubbling

Double-check the seal on the lid; if there is a leak, CO2 will escape without passing through the airlock, though fermentation may still be occurring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, ensure you have a standard 25-liter fermentation bucket, an airlock, and a sanitizing solution.

  1. Sanitize: Thoroughly clean all equipment that will come into contact with the wine.
  2. Mix: Pour the contents of the kit into the bucket and add the required volume of water as specified by the instructions.
  3. Ferment: Add the included chemicals and yeast, seal the bucket with an airlock, and keep in a room at a consistent temperature.
  4. Monitor: Check the airlock for activity. Ensure the temperature remains stable between 20-25 degrees Celsius for the best results.
  5. Package: After 5 days, clear the wine according to the included instructions before transferring to bottles or a wine box system.

Care instructions include keeping your equipment stored in a cool, dry place when not in use and always utilizing food-grade sanitizers to prevent spoilage.
