Firstly, either from our list online or in store, choose the batch of wine that you would like to make with us. Each batch is 23L, which makes 30 bottles of wine.

We can craft and modify your wine specifically to your taste. Therefore, if you would like less or more oak, a little sweeter or a little drier, or to add bubbles to make it sparkly, simply talk to one of our team and we will craft specifically to your taste.

The next step is to come into store to pay for and pitch the yeast into your batch. Although only taking a few seconds, this the most important step in making your wine with us and is a legal requirement. Sprinkling the yeast is what starts the winemaking process, and turns the lovely grape juice into delicious wine, so enjoy the moment! 

Depending on what wine you make, it will be ready to bottle in 5-8 weeks. During this time, you can sit back and relax while we do the rest.

Our team will be caring for your batch while it ferments, clears and settles before moving it into an aging room until you are ready to come in to bottle. Just before bottling, we will filter your batch with our state-of-the-art filtering system.

When you are ready, and the "due date" is coming up or already past, call us to make an appointment to bottle. 

You will require 30 bottles per batch that you have made. If you would like to save any bottles that you have already, simply rinse them out after drinking and bring them with you on the bottling day. If you do not have any bottles at home, you are welcome to buy bottles from us on the day.

On your appointment day, come in to bottle! If it is your first time, or if you need a refresher, our friendly team will lead you through the entire process.

It is best practice to sanitize your bottles prior to bottling. If you do not have a method of doing this at home, we have manual hand pump sanitizers that are free to use (takes around 10 minutes), or a sanitizing machine that automatically sanitizes your 30 bottles in 2 minutes (the cost for which is $1.25 per batch).

Bottling itself is a very easy process. We have automatic bottle fillers that fill two bottles at a time, and an automatic corker. If you wish to buy and apply labels and shrink tops to your bottles, you are more than welcome to do so, and we are also able to make custom labels for special occasions. In total, the entire process takes approximately 45 mins per batch.

After bottling, take straight home to store and age until you are ready to enjoy it!

The wine made at BA Brewmaster and BA Winexpert has less preservatives than commercial wines, which has many advantages for the consumer, but means that your wine needs to be stored in a cool dark place. The ideal temperature is between 7°C-13°C (45°F-55°F), however cool garages and basements will be okay so long as they do not reach above 20°C (68°F).

Many of our wines (particularly white wines and those in our Classic series) can be enjoyed straight away, but if you are looking to get the very best out of your wine we provide optimal aging guidelines for each series that you make with us. These guidelines can be found both online and in our store.

The last and easiest step of all - enjoy!!! 

We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee - this means that if you store, age, then try your wine, and it simply does not suit your taste, all you need to do is let us know and return your full bottles. We will add a credit to your account and you can make another batch to find something that suits your taste. Moreover, if you are still unhappy we will refund you entirely. This is how sure we are that you will enjoy our wines. Love Your Wine, Guaranteed.
