Equipment
Most winemakers already have the
necessary equipment needed (pictured on the left):
-20 L (5 U.S. gallon) glass carboy and gallon
jug
-siphoning equipment which includes plastic hose, rigid J tubes and a
sediment excluder.
-airlocks and rubber bungs
-hydrometer (measures sugar content or specific gravity ~ S.G.)
-57 g or 2 oz. of potassium metabisulphite K2S205
(a sterilant).
Sterilization
"Cleanliness is next to godliness." This phrase also holds true for winemaking. Dissolve 2 oz. of potassium metabisulphite into a one (1) gallon jug of hot water. This makes a reuseable disinfecting solution that will last up to 6 months if kept tightly capped. Sterilize all equipment that will touch the wine or juice by rinsing it with this metabisulphite solution. After sterilizing your equipment, always rinse your equipment twice with cold water.
