hey guys I'm about to get my first wine kit after doing 3 beers. I have pretty much decided on the mid-level wine expert selection shiraz. Just a few rookie questions...
1. What do wino's sanitize with and is it necessary or should I just use my idophor. I don't have a problem buying it it its reasonable. sodium metabisulfite??
2. buying a 6 gallon BB. Also I am assuming a 7.9 gallon bucket for about 20 or a 10 gallon?? Is an airlock necessary or would one of those buckets with a loose lid work for the first week or so.
Thanks. I'm just trying to make sure I have every thing ready to go.
