wine concentrate-makes 30 bottles-£12.49-Amazon

I have ordered one pressed grape wine kit and a cider kit. What equipment will be needed? There is some homebrew kit at mums that never got used (been stored in the shed) So I could probably get my hands on a lot of it.

I`m hoping the equipment needed will be a large brewing bucket, a siphon, and some demijohns and wine bottles,corks, plus the new yeast as someone suggested on here (and the sugar) Will be interesting to see how the wine etc turns out...

Since they are basically 5 gal kits you will need either a 5gal plastic food grade bucket with lid & airlock or 5 demijohns with airlocks. Also sterilising solution before you use them, and remember to rinse well after using it.

Recieved my 2 red and 1 white yesterday in the same box even though they were 2 seperate orders.

I didn't have a big enough bucket for the white wine kit, so have been looking around for one.
In Sainsburys this morning , they had Kilner 25 litre fermenting buckets for £3. Lid is airtight, but no hole for fermentation lock. I've just drilled a hole and fitted an airlock I have. Looks like discontinued stock, but others might find it locally.

Just wondered how everyone got on with their kits.
I got 2 white wine, and the grape juice was dark brown, but I still used it. The colour didn't improve, but it's perfectly acceptable for home drinking.
