educatedfool · Oct 29, 2014

I just bought the following kit.http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Alcotec_Spirit_Base_Kit_5_Litres.html#.VFElNjSsVtU

What other gear do i need to make my own vodka?

according to the instructions i need a fermenter with an airlock

where can i buy one of these things?

I am a complete beginner, so any help would be much appreciated

If it's just a one off brew, you could buy 5 litres of water from Asda and use the bottle as a fermenter. No need for a bubble lock, just 'burp' it, leave lid slightly loose or use a balloon. Lots of videos on Youtube.

If it's gonna be a new hobby, then might be worth investing in some better kit and getting the basics picked up with maybe a wine or beer kit. If so, post back here for hints & tips.

Good luck! :drink:

This wont make vodka but will make a wine of around 13% (more if you add more sugar) for approximately 60 pence a bottle - http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=49462
