costco的wine making kit on sale，$12 off. 想自己试一下。如果买了那个kit，其他除了瓶子还需要什么呢？

另外Merlot和Sauvignon Blanc是什么区别？那种好呢？

Merlot is red wine, Sauvignon Blanc of course is a white wine.

Read the instructions included in the kit, you'll find a list of items to buy.

p.s. have you googled?

Thanks JJ.

I did read the instructions on the box, seems it doesn't mention what needed. I didn't buy it yet, so I don't have the detailed instructions inside.

I goolgled this site only. :P

I found it at Merivale/Huntclub costco.

That's weird. I bought 2 barrels of wine juice from Costco, and the instruction sheet included did mention the equipment I would need. Oh anyway, here is our list:

-a carboy (big glass jar)
-a long plastic stick (forgot the proper name, used for stirring the wine and degas)
-a plastic tube (again forgot the proper name, used to empty wine from one container to another, i.e. from primary fermenter - the barrel that you bought from Costco to the carboy)
-hydrometer (to measure the maturity of wine)
-pink powder (to disinfect all equipment)
-many empty bottles, start to collect NOW.

OK, I googled, here is the list of properly-named equipment for wine making:

-6 GL carboy
-airlock
-hydrometer
-carboy spoon (plastic stick)
-siphon hose (plastic tube)
-bottle drainer
-bottle rinser
-sanitizer (pink powder)
-corker

If you buy the wine juice from costco, you should already have:

-primary fermenter
-corks
-labels

Thanks JJ.

觉得还是wine exchange club适合我

自己做有自己做的乐趣。比如头一次换瓶就闹出很多笑话。
而且可以根据喜好改变口味。
总之是个有趣的经历。

听朋友说，Wine比Beer的要求严格。温度和最后的过滤都很关键。
过来人谈谈经验怎么样？

[oread]

Wine should be stored in between 20 and 25 degrees centigrade. However we find that leaving the wine in slightly lower temperature for slightly longer period of time actually enhances the flavor. Of course you can always use a warming belt.

We made 32 bottles of Merlot and 30 bottles of Chardonnay, for about $3 per bottle, including initial investment of equipment.

这其实也是一个担心。62瓶酒要多久才能喝完啊?
一个朋友就是放到酸了也没有喝完

[红颜知己]

这个不用担心,作为朋友这点小忙我们都不帮,那还叫朋友嘛!做好了,随时通知我去拿

今天去买了一箱,里面有两袋果汁,说是可以酿60瓶.这还是浓缩果汁,不过也算便宜了.
