hiya all, am off out later to wilko's to pick up the bits and bobs needed to start me on my journey into the world of homemade wine.

could somebody please have a nosey and see if i have missed anything, i will be doing WOW recipes to start off with.

so this is what i'm planning on getting....

dj's and airlocks
syphon tube
pectolase
yeast
yeast nutrient
tannin(cheaper than a box of yorkshire teabags)
finings
campdens
glycerine
sterilising fluid
and a funnel

i think i have covered everything but not 100% sure, any thought's/advice would be appreciated.

A tip that will save you making the same mistake i did when i tried powdered tannin, mix it with half a cup of the sugar you will add later as if you don't it clumps like lumpy gravy, i went back to teabags as soon as the pot was empty, i use the cheapest tea bags i can find

Hydrometer and a Thermometer whilst not essential are tools that are well worth the few quid they cost, bottle and DJ brushes will also make life simpler when it comes to bottling and emptying out DJ's. Simple syringes from a chemist for measuring out finings (if you go with kwik clear) will help keep costs down.

thanks for that, i will get them as soon as wilkos gets them in and have already got a supply of those calpol syringe's(free off anybody with baby's):thumb:
