By Patty Goff


Vines can be produced using all sorts of fruit juices, but grapes are still the most popular. Affordable wine making ingredient kits allow you to start your own vine production. These practical sets contain all necessary equipment for this job, including really detailed instructions. Maybe t sounds complicated, but it really isn't.

Firstly, you need a basic fermenter. It is a vessel of about eight gallons, which has a lid and a hole to insert the airlock. Juice, water and yeast are mixed into the primary fermenter, and for this you need a long spoon made of plastic or stainless steel. To make sure everything is perfectly clean and sanitized, you need unscented detergent and metabisulphite for sanitizing.

The first fermentation is only the first phase in the process of production. After that, your vine has to be placed into a carboy. The carboy is usually made of glass, or plastic. At this point, it is necessary to check the amount of SO2 in your future vine, as well as pH and acidity. You'll find one test jar, wine thief, hydrometer and some other needed things in your selected kit. According to test results, you'll have to make some adjustments.

Some wines require special additives, for example oak powder. You'll find different packets in each of these kits, you just have to add their content into the mixture, according to included instructions. Just follow the instructions and you shouldn't have any problems. The entire process might require certain time and effort, but there is nothing really complicated there.

Kit contains thirty bottles with corks as well as a corking machine. In short, it contains everything you need for bottling your final product. The entire production process takes about six months.
