SUMMARY:Introductory Class Ideal for Aspiring Winemakers - Kit Winemaking Class
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever wanted to learn to make wine\, here’s your chance.  John Lane from our Winemakers Group will be conducting a Kit Winemaking Class on Saturday\, June 17\, at the OC Fair and Event Center.  This is a great introductory class for learning how to make wine. \nA wine kit contains most everything you need to make a batch of wine: grape concentrate\, additives\, oak\, basic equipment and instructions. It’s like following a recipe and having all the ingredients\, only you’ll make wine instead of a meal. A kit can produce two to three cases of wine\, ready to enjoy in about two months. \nSince our first kit winemaking class 10 years ago\, approximately 175 OCWS members have taken part.  Over half of our new winemakers started from these introductory classes. Using kits\, many members have produced medal-winning wines at the OC Fair Home Wine Competition. Kits are a great springboard to making wine from grapes. \nAt this class you will learn kit selection\, equipment needed\, space requirements\, step-by-step kit instructions\, monitoring your wine throughout the process\, racking/clarifying\, storage/aging and bottling. \nJohn will demonstrate the process using two separate kits\, a Chardonnay to begin to class and a Chilean Malbec to finish. At the end of the class\, participants will bottle the Malbec and get to take it home. \nCost to attend is $25 and attendance is extremely limited. The class will last roughly four hours. There will be a short break with light snacks served. Sign up now on the OCWS website to attend. Who knows\, maybe next year you’ll be entering your wines in the 2024 OC Fair Home Wine Competition. \n—Ed Reyes\, ed@ocws.org
