This kit does not include crown neck beer bottles. It is
recommended that you NOT use screw cap bottles. Get the
crown cap finish. Look at your
beverage bottle return shops for the best buy on beer
bottles. They are 5 cents in NYS.
Seasoned brewers are observing that the older glass is
thicker than the newer bottles.

To Start winemaking, you'll
need.
- Books, information.
- Carboys. You'll always need an
empty one for racking.
- Bung to fit
- Airlock
- Siphon hose and
Racking tube for racking.
- Bottle filler for the end process of filling bottles. Attaches to
end of siphon tubing. This fills from the bottom up. A 3/8 size
displaces enough
wine for corking when removed from a 750 ml bottle
- Hydrometer (triple scale: potential alcohol, Brix, specific gravity) to
test the sugar level BEFORE
fermentation.
- Corn sugar (Dextrose) to adjust "Brix" or sugar.
- Yeast: Your pick, our recommendation. 1 pack per 5-7 gallons.
- Thermometer to check temperature of water for yeast re-hydration
- Potassium Metabisulfite: an anti-oxidant and anti bacterial
additive. Recommended rate of 40 to 80 ppm, the lesser amount for red
as it has bleaching characteristics. This is added at
racking. It can also be used for cleaning and chasing chlorine rinses.
- OR Campden Tablets are a tablet form of Sodium or Potassium metabisulfite for use in small
lots. One tablet is (rate varies) 30 to 120 ppm in 1 gallon.
Check the label
- +5-5 Hydrometer to check sugar at the end of fermentation. A
negative 2 reading is dry, dry, dry. A positive 1degree reading has
some sugar left and is not safe to bottle unless Sorbate (in combination
with Potassium Metabisulfite) is going to be used. See
Bottling Sweet Wine (Sorbate)
Brewing
- Bucket, pail, open fermenter with lid and airlock
- most of the above.
