*Basic Winemaking Kit

An affordable introduction to winemaking that still supplies you with all of the essential equipment. Our Basic Winemaking kit is for making six gallon batches of wine — an ideal size for making concentrate wine kits.

The primary fermenter is a large 7.9 gallon plastic bucket with a lid and airlock. It's very easy to pour concentrate, collect must or juice, or mix in additives in this vessel. The secondary is a six-gallon carboy (choose from plastic or glass) that will allow for airtight, oxygen-free aging of maturing wine. The AutoSiphon eliminates all of the siphoning difficulties home winemakers faced in the past. Also comes with all the necessary cleaning, siphoning, and bottling equipment.

This kit is completely expandable; upgrade components or add more carboys at any time to increase your home winery's production capacity!

*Deluxe Winemaking Kit

With a kit like this, making wine at home is easy, even if you've never done it before. Also designed for making six-gallon batches, the Deluxe Winemaking Kit has the same equipment as the Basic, but with several upgrades.

The best thing about this kit is the floor corker. It's far more sturdy and efficient than hand held corkers, and can easily be operated by one person. An then there's the gadgets: a wine thief and test jar make taking and reading hydrometer samples easier and more accurate; the sanitizable plastic paddle is ideal for mixing must, stirring in additives, or degassing wine prior to bottling; a carboy handle makes it easier to move a carboy; two fermometers stick to the fermenters for constant temperature readings; and an extra fermentation lock gives the flexibility to stagger batches.

The Deluxe Winemaking Kit is the way to go if you will be making more than a couple of batches of wine in a year; further experience will make you glad to have the gear in this kit.

Contains everything in #7650 plus:

  • Carboy handle
  • 2 x Fermometer
  • Six gallon bottling bucket
  • Extra fermentation lock
  • Wine thief
  • Plastic paddle
  • Floor corker (upgrade from double lever)
  • Test jar
