I have been homebrewing beer for several years and consider myself an intermediate brewer, but this is my first time 'brewing' wine.
I was given one of those box kits (Heron Bay Shiraz) as a gift last Christmas but I haven't made it yet. It's been sitting in the box, sealed, at room temperature for almost a year now. Is it still good to make? I've tried calling the company but haven't gotten a response yet.
I called my local homebrew shop and they said it's probably ok, but that I should buy new yeast for it. Should I also replace the following ingredients, or are they still good after a year (room temperature, in the box, sealed in plastic or paper packets):
-Sorbate
-Kieselsol
-Bentonite
-Metabisulphite
-Chitosan
Thanks,
chris.
