Great kit, just followed the directions except for letting the carboy bulk age for an extra 50 days. During the bottling, sneaked a taste and it was great, Now will attempt to leave it aging in the bottle for a year and taste again.

I Have No Problem With Midwest Supplies Great To Work With, I Purchased What I Thought Was A Premium Wine Kit. There Was no Bag For The Grape Skins, No Labels For The Bottles (Which Other Suppliers Supply With There Kits) And The Instruction Have A Lot Left To Be Desired. Midwest Supplies Supplied The Bags. Have Not Brewed The Kit Yet. Hope All Turns Out Well.

I made a pyment/mead with this kit - actually, more than one from one kit - so this likely isn't a review of the results of the kit per it's contents and instructions, but I thought I'd put it out there for others to consider.
Everything is as described for contents, etc. No bag for the skins, and I'm hoping they decided to add one as they're not very expensive (I bought this kit in 2020). I have reusable ones, so not a big deal for me. For those interested in experimenting...
I split this up into 2 batches and used D254 yeast in one, and D80 in the other. I also used my own oak instead of the chips - a blend of American, French, and Hungarian (all Med+ toast levels) - then blended the two batches. I had some other 'tweaks' post fermentation, and the end result was great. I also did the same with another Syrah kit, and blended some of it with this batch. That also turned out phenomenal.

The kit seemed odd. There was no bentonite or cheesecloth sock, and had a few different ingredients from others I have made. It tastes OK after a couple of months of sitting, but it still has a bit of bitterness that usually goes away after bottling. This kit could have been off, but it tastes more like a light Pinot Noir than a big red Zinfandel. It's still perfectly drinkable, just not what I expected from prior kits.

Having a glass right now. It's delicious and it's only a month. I will be buying more. The customer service is awesome.
