What equipment do I need to starting making wine?

Question

What equipment do I need to start making wine at home?

Answer 1

Very little equipment is required for making wine:

• Primary Fermenter (plastic pail)
• Secondary Fermenter (glass/plastic carboy)
• Airlock for carboy
• Syphon
• Bottle brush
• Carboy brush
• Hydrometer with jar
• Spoon

• Cleaner & Sanitizer

  When you are ready to bottle then you'll need:

• Bottles (approx 30)
• Corks
• Floor Corker (I rent one from the local shop)

I recommend purchasing a starter kit from your local homebrew/wine shop. They're normally really great and good prices.
