I've read that a typical kit makes 5 gallons. However, I've also read
16 bottles, which if my math is correct correlates to about 4 gallons. Does the amount of wine produced vary from kit to kit, or am I missing something?Jack,
I'm not sure if all kits make the same amount, but I think a standard
750 ml bottle is just under 4/5 of a quart, or about 1/5 of a gallon. Five gallons should yield close to 24 or 25 bottles, depending on how you rack, top off, etc. (U.S. measurement)HTH, Mike MTM
I have run into a few small batch kits that only make 3 or 4 gal.s, but most kits make 23 liters. That is 6 US gal's or 5 British gal's. I usually get
25-27 bottles out of them after racking loss.Ray
They may mean you get 5 gallons of must. by the time you rack a couple of times, and lose a bit that way, they estimate you will get about 16 bottles.
