Hey guys,
I was thinking of a fun question to ask you all.
My birthday is next month and people have been asking me what I would like to add to my winemaking arsenal.
I was thinking I could would share the things I have on hand at present and perhaps you could chime in with what you think would be a nice addition to the list / get some ideas flowing.
...
What I have thus far:
4 One Gallon Carboy Jugs
Bottle of Pectic Enyzme
Bottle of Superfood
Bottle of Citric Acid
Packet of Potassium Sorbate
Potassium Metabisulphite
Kieselsol, Chitonsan (just enough for one time use)
Hydrometer, Testing Jar
Standing wine corker (lucky score off craigslist)
A complete wine kit for 23L batches:
-23L fermenting Pail (needs replacing sadly)
-5 Gallon Glass Carboy
- Mixing Spoon
- Large Auto siphon, tubing, and cane
On my wishlist:
Fresh pressed cider!
Bottle of Tannin
2 Gallon Fermentation Bucket with Lid
Mini Auto Siphon & racking cane (the large siphon cannot fit into the neck of the one gallon carboy)
Jug of Star San cleaner & sanitizer
Fortified beer, wine or champagne bottles (for carbonated Apfelwein)
Caps or corks
...
Anything I might be missing/would be good to have?
My goal is to eventually scale up to 5-6 gallon batches and try some red wine kits with the juice concentrate. But for now I am happy with the smaller batches as I am just starting out.
Have a good weekend
