Wine Making Kits

5 Gallon Basic Wine Kit for Fruit (without Concentrate) $99

Description

If you have your own source of fruit, juice, or other winemaking ingredients this is the kit for you. My first two winemaking adventures were with elderberries and wild grapes. I wish I had access to this kit back then. We include a 5 gallon glass carboy instead of a 6 gallon because most winemaking books and recipes lean towards 5 gallon sizes. We also put in the handy nylon bag that can act as a mini press, helping you press out your fruit. The 7.9 gallon primary fermentor should be large enough for most 5 gallon batches unless you are making wine from wine grapes when you might use 75 lbs of grapes, in which case you should purchase a 10 gallon or larger primary. Our kit also contains enough of the basic winemaking ingredients so you can make up to 10 gallons of wine before you need to replenish them.

Description

We set up our deluxe kit so you can make wine with a Wine Kit concentrate or from your own fresh fruit. And we added upgrades from our other 5 gallon kits. We added another glass carboy so you can siphon your wine into it straight from another. What we like most about this kit is the floor corker, which makes inserting corks into bottles so easy you’ll wish you had made more wine. We’ve never had a customer prefer the smaller hand corkers once they’ve tried the floor model. If you think you will continue to make wine you’ll be glad you invested in our Deluxe kit.

Description

We make a simple kit for those who would like to experiment with winemaking before getting their feet purple. Our One gallon kit is much like our Five gallon except the equipment is smaller and the wine concentrate line is from a different supplier. Also, there are not as many choices in the 1 gallon size concentrates as in the 5 gallon. Bear in mind that it takes as long to make and age, though not to drink, 1 gallon of wine as 5. Some of the equipment may be used in the Five gallon wine kits if you decide to expand your capacity. Note: The included concentrate makes 2 gallons of wine. The remaining concentrate may be stored in a glass jar in a refrigerator until used.
