Pruden's Pinot Plonk -- Pruden Noir, if you will -- is in bottles... and awesome.
"How long are you going to age this for?"
"about 45 minutes"
I'm going to have to start another batch pretty soon here. The instructions implore me to "try" to give it three to six months in the bottles. Suggestions welcome on types of wine for the next one.
Awesome, I am really trying to put off the alcohol making bug for a while, but I don't know if I will be able to. I am looking forward to a "tasting" during the boat trip. It' has been way to long since I have had any homebrew. as for suggesions, something very dark red. maybe a merlot or a ?????????? yeah, who am i kidding, I know jack and or shit about wine other than I like it and I drink it. Bring it on, what ever it is.

I've been leaning towards another red, I'm not 100% sure, but I think a white I'd have to filter to really get it nice and clear. A merlot could be very nice, though.
I meant to update with the yield:
2 Magnums
12 bottles
16 splits
It should have been 30 bottles total, but I used a too-small carboy for one of the steps (imperial vs. US gallons being the problem.)
Aside from equipment, at 30 bottles for the kit, it comes out to less than $4 / bottle... and it's way nicer than a $4 wine.
I'll definitely bring some with on the trip, though.
