Home fermentation is a welcomed revolution.
Brewsy home winemaking starter kits have the ever curious brain of a pandemic foodie asking: why haven’t I always made my own wine at home? Established in 2020, the New Orleans based company offers simple and fast starter kits perfect for playfully resourceful hosts and home cooks who love wine so much they want to make it at home.
One starter kit makes 3 gallons of wine, cider or mead from any juice and is drinkable in just 7 days, as with any wine, it only gets better with age. Home winemakers just follow Brewsy’s instructions and customize to taste. The finished wine can be tweaked for sweetness, tannin, and acid.
Reading through their Brewsy reviews section left by customers, often accompanied with images of their unique wine creations, they consistently gets raving reviews and the wines made look delicious:
“To me, it is much better tasting wine than I get from the store or from wine sellers,” said home winemaker Rick Smith in December 2021. “There are no harsh chemicals, so I’m getting the true taste of my wine.”
Brewsy has quickly grown a thriving community of passionate people who agree that cooking and drinking at home provide unlimited happiness. It’s not surprising that Brewsy winemakers aren’t shy about sharing their homemade magic with each other and online. Not to mention Brewsy offers tons of tutorials, recipes and text support.
The secret to delicious wine made at home is Brewsy’s winemaking blend packet: the Brewsy Bag. It allows fermentation to begin with ease and finish quickly, helping to compound fruity and floral aromas in the wine.
But the Brewsy Bag is anything but simple. The winemaking blend was painstakingly engineered by making over one thousand batches of wine, and was specifically designed for fermenting almost any juice into wine. The blend contains 6 ingredients used by winemakers in classic regions like Napa and Tuscany. The Brewsy Bag is vegan, contains no preservatives, but instead has bentonite for clarity, potassium bicarbonate to bring out delicate flavors, and a malolactic culture to soften harsh acids.
Each starter kit comes with supplies for 12 standard bottles of wine. Home winemakers just supply juice and a one-gallon container, optionally, they can add on fresh-pressed wine grape juice from regions like Napa, Tuscany, and Chile, or they can use their own juice from the store.. After mixing the juice, brewsy bag and sugar, it takes around five days for the sugars in the juice to ferment to alcohol. Once it reaches 12 percent ABV, the wine is chilled for two days, then gently poured off any particles that have settled to the bottom of the container. Finished wine gets better with age and can last 3-5 years in refrigerated storage.
Whether it’s a home winemaking revolution or a change in how foodies drink, Brewsy allows wine lovers to feel closer to the alcohol they consume by helping them make consistent and great-tasting wine at home. Brewsy Bags have no hidden ingredients like non-vegan clarifying agents, preservatives or sulfites, which can affect each person differently.
Brewsy is based in New Orleans and uses US products. It was founded in 2020 by duo Liam Meier and Neal Shulman, after they realized most home winemaking starter kits were expensive, contained tons of preservatives, were wildly inconsistent and lacked creativity. They believe making wine at home should be as easy as cooking, and that quality wine can be crafted by anyone who loves to create what they consume and share it with those they love most.
