What Equipment Do You Need?

This kit is ingredients-only. You'll also need a 25-litre fermenter, airlock, hydrometer, siphon, and 30 bottles with corks. Always sanitise with VWP or ChemSan.

Upgrading your yeast

Sauvignon Blanc's herbaceous, gooseberry character is exactly what aromatic-white strains are built for. Try Mangrove Jack's CL23 for a clean, crisp result. But if you can ferment somewhere genuinely cool — a cold porch, unheated spare room, under 15°C — Lalvin K1V-1116 is worth the extra care; it's known for expressing exactly this grape's fresh, grassy aromatics when fermented cold.

How it works (quick steps)

  1. Sanitise equipment thoroughly.
  2. Add concentrate and water to 23L; pitch yeast.
  3. Ferment dry and confirm stable gravity.
  4. Stabilise and clear with finings.
  5. Bottle; flavours knit nicely after 1–3 months.

Why choose Beaverdale
