Fresh Juice Kits
Fall 2009 Harvest Season is here!

100% Fresh Harvest Juice from California and Italy!
Hammersmith Homebrew is proud to offer
Fresco, (Fresh Juice) from Mosti Mondiale, the supplier of Premium Fresh Juice and
Must from the finest vineyards of California and Italy!
What is fresh harvest juice?
Fresh juice is pure
juice from freshly crushed grapes from the vineyards of California and Italy.
The juice is shipped refrigerated to guarantee peak freshness.
What's so special about fresh juice kits?
The juices are harvested and
shipped refrigerated from
the vineyards of California and Italy during late summer and early autumn.
Because juices are fresh and in a natural state, they are much more preferable
to using chemically altered concentrates and kits for winemaking. And what you
gain in freshness, you don't lose in ease. The procedure for making wine from
juice is pretty straight forward, and similar to making wine from a kit or
concentrates. There's no special equipment needed!
Are there any extra steps
needed for using fresh juice kits?
Because juices are shipped
refrigerated, it is recommended that you start making your wine within a day or two from the time you pick up your kit. After two days, the
juice starts to ferment itself. If kept refrigerated, the juice will last up
to two months.
