    Hello again. I have a question about the wine making kits which supply the hardware needed for wine making. I am very new at this and have been reading a lot. I took a quick look on Amazon to see what kits are available. I’ve seen a couple which can make wine in batches of 1 gallon (includes...

    New at this with a bunch of questions after the fermentation process

    I am making my first few bottles of wine the poor boy way, from juice bottles from the store. These are just experiments to have fun and if I want to get more serious about wine making I will probably go to using the kits. Having said that, as I’m new at this I have a lot of questions...
