Basic Wine Making Equipment List For Beginners (Adventures in Home Brewing)
If you want to jump right into making wine without using a pre-made wine-making kit, it can be done just fine. But there are certain pieces of fermentation equipment that you should have. With that in mind, we’ve put together a basic wine-making equipment list for beginners.
Start with primary and secondary fermenters and carboys. These can be made of plastic or glass, with both having pros and cons to using either one and are used for the fermentation of your wine. A primary fermenter is used for the first 5 to 7 days of fermentation. The secondary fermenter is used to finish the fermentation.
