A complete equipment starter kit containing everything you need to make your first 6 bottles of Red wine:
1*5ltr fermenting bin and lid
1*5ltr plastic demijohn (or glass demijohn/dama jar as an option)
1 bubbler airlock (+ bored bung if purchasing a glass demijohn)
1 syphon tube
1 12" glass thermometer
1 Stevenson Reeves/Betterbrew hydrometer
100gms of cleaning/sterilising solution
The fermenting bin is used during the first stages of fermentation. The wine is then transferred to the demijohn to stabilise and clear prior to bottling. (You could, of course, if you preferred, undertake the primary fermentation in the demijohn/dama jar, transfer the wine to the bucket while you clean and sterilise the demijohn, then return the wine to the demijohn to clear and mature prior to bottling.)
This kit comes complete with a choice of Red wine from our extensive range of 6 bottle Beaverdale wine kits, and makes an ideal present for Birthdays, Christmas, Valentines Day or Mothers Day.
You can, if you wish, upgrade the demijohn to a more substantial 1 gallon traditional glass demi-john / dama jar.
Many "starter kits" either do not supply syphons, hydrometers and thermometers, or else include basic or less expensive ones to reduce the cost. Our Winemaking Starter Kit contains EVERYTHING that you need to start making wine (except water) and all the items are of the finest quality.
