LordEoin

Once again, a huge thanks to HomeBrewWest for putting these kits up for raffle.
I tip my hat to you Sir Brian :)
In exchange, each winner will write a review of the kit on our forums.

Because wine takes so long to condition, the reviews should start early with packaging, ingredients, instructions, must, yeast etc and evolve at different stages of brewing.
This is a really good opportunity to try your hand at wine making as there will be other people brewing and documenting similar kits at the same time.

Eligibility as usual is:
  • You must be a full member
  • You must have written a decent guide/review/instructional/frontpage-article on the NHC forums or frontpage (link it on entry)
  • Agree to write an early review of the kit and update it as you go.
  • You must have or get the required equipment (demijohn or something similar)
    more on eligibility



    So here it is.. our first Wine Raffle!

    The prizes are the following 6 bottle wine kits:
    Muntons Chardonnay 6 Bottle Wine Kit
    Muntons Black Cherry Country Wine Kit 6 Bottle
    Muntons Elderberry Country Wine Kit 6 Bottle
    Muntons Elderflower Country Wine Kit 6 Bottle
    Muntons Strawberry Country Wine Kit 6 Bottle

    The country wine kits are valued at €9.95 each, and grape wine kits start at €12.95. Pretty good for 6 bottles of wine :)
    Quote from: HomeBrewWest.ieA superb range of traditional homemade country wine kits. The wines are fresh, zesty and have a complexity rarely found in homemade wine kits.
    Six bottle wine kits will enable you to cellar a wide variety of wines.

    Best of luck to everyone that enters.
    The raffle will close on Sunday the 29th.
    If you've not yet written a guide/review/how-to/frontpage-article, get cracking.
    If you already have, link one of them with your entry.

    I'll be raffling each kit individually. One kit per winner. So include your order of preference in your entry, simply omit any you're not interested in.
    ie:
    1 - MemberName, kits you'd like (in order of preference), link to your article/how-to/review/guide/etc
