By Nita McKinney


Winemaking at home is a great hobby pursued by many. There are a number of reasons that would compel people to distil wines at home. One of them is its high price while another may be the poor quality or selection in the outlets available. The use of a kit is a basic method used in the process. The method is cheap and has low risks, hence making it ideal. The kit come in a variety of types, and some even have instructions about the brewing. This article is all about wine making kits for beginners.

There are three different products required in order to distil some drink at home. They include an equipment kit, a recipe kit for juice, and some bottles. When getting started, the most vital part is selecting an equipment kit. The best equipment kits are capable of providing all the components required to make about six gallons of the drink using concentrate.

Beginner winemaking equipment has everything a starter may require for distilling wine at home, perhaps with the exception of a juice kit and bottles. When a comparison is made with beermaking, winemaking is by far easier. The maker does not have to boil the ingredients, and with the use of concentrate kits one can get consistent results. However, some patience is required during the process a comparison is done with beer making. It is normal to wait for anywhere between two to six months.

For the winemaking process to be complete and successful, a two stage fermentation has to be done. The kits used include a six gallon glass carboy, a 7.5 gallon plastic fermenter that comes with a lid, a stopper for every fermenter and a bottle brush. Additional equipment include an airlock, a wine hydrometer, a plastic plunger corker together with corks, siphoning tube, a racking tube, a shut-off valve, a bottle filler and equipment instructions.

An ordinary beginner kit is sold in four different types of corker upgrades. Apart from the corker, all the other pieces are similar to each other. All kits have the same ease when it comes to making them, hence none is easier nor harder. If the winemaker allocates more money to buy a kit, he can be assured the drink will be of a higher quality. Selecting his or her suited style is all they have to do.

Roughly 29 or 30 standard 750ml bottles will be needed to store the gallons of drinks made. This is about two crates each made up of twelve bottles, and an extra six bottles. Shipping grass is not recommended for use as it is expensive due to its weight.

As soon as a person has finished drinking wines, they will definitely keep the empty bottles safe. Winemakers can then collect enough bottles, clean them out and then utilize them in storing the drinks they distill.

When buying wine making kits for beginners, it is recommended that one starts with cheap wine kit. It is better to buy from a local winemaking store a package that includes the absolute necessities for making the first batch of drink.
