I am a first time wine maker. I got this kit, but noticed that I didn't get any other equipment like I assumed I would. What else do I need?

This is an ingredient kit, not a wine making kit. You need a full wine making equipment setup in order to use this ingredient kit.

You need to buy the wine making kit that has the carboy, corker, fermentor ect. It cost around 170.00 for everything, then buy the wine kits, we get one kit every month since it cost about 2.00 a bottle of the best wine, but make sure you read everything it says for you to do

No bottles. This is a cheap kit making a cheap wine. Don't go there. I've been making kit wines for 15 years, and this is the worst in my cellar. My wife won't even drink it.

This kit only contain the yeast and other products like the pot. sulfate, dolomite, etc. plus the grape concentrate. You would have to purchase the carboy, bottles, specific gravity gauge, bong, separately.

Yes it contains all the ingredients that you need. You need to supply the equipment. Just follow the directions and it will make great wine. I would recommend making a 5 gallon batch instead of 6 gallons for a wine with more body.

No! Everything you need is in this kit and it is of decent quality.The only thing that we upgraded on was the purchase of a self standing corker.All you need is the wine mix!Hope this helps in your decision!

Bottles are not included. Also need all of the wine making equipment (Primary fermenter, secondary fermenter (carboy), siphon, hydrometer, etc. Kit includes the must or juice, yeast, clarifying agents, stabilizer, labels, and shrink capsules.

I purchased the premium kit, and it has been great. I too was new to wine making.

You can do a bunch of the experiments with what is available in the kit. There are some experiments that might need things you generally find at home. There are indeed a few that I believe need some additional things.

I haven't brewed this one yet to comment on the alcohol content. They give you way more bottle caps then you will need (unless you are extremely clumsy.). These kits usually yield a few bottles over 2 cases.

Yes, the Kit contained everything I needed. I did however purchase a floor corker (I never tried the one provided though) the kit was a great start. I have since purchased and additional Carboy so I can have two wines going at once.

depending on where you live, I would look at a wine starter kit on Midwest supply.com or Amazon. This gives you all the things you need to make wine. Hoe much wine are you planning on making. If you are only going to make a few kits here and there, these beginner kits will be good enough. If you plan on making kits on a regular basis, I would upgrade the kit to include a floor corker. I also prefer the glass carboys to plastic, but they are also much heavier especially when full of wine. I really found everything I needed and the best prices at Midwest supply.com. They allow you to upgrade items in the kits and often give you a better deal than buying individually. I think I spent about $350. That will get you started. I make fruit wine from fresh fruit and have made about 30 of the vino italiano kits. I bought more carboys and fermentation buckets so I could do multiple wines at a time. Hope this helps

I believe I read something in the information sent with the mold kit that if you need more you can send off for it. Read the papers that accompanied your kit thoroughly, it should mention what to do if that happens.

Juice concentrate (primary and secondary booster), yeast, stabilizer, clearing agents, instructions and some info/fact cards about origins of ice wines and other products available from the company. No labels or corks. This kit does make a really good icewine! I would do another one if I wasn't busy with all of the other wines I have in progress already. We served it at a wine party and the majority of our guests really liked it. Note: this kit is designed for a 3 gallon yield, so only 15 750ml bottles or 30 375ml bottles. Make sure you have a 3 gallon carboy for secondary fermentation! Enjoy!

The kit is designed for 1-gallon batches so you can use the included equipment with any 1-gallon recipe/kit. Lots of recipes and kits are available online and you can even reuse the yeast from your previous batch if you're careful to be sanitary in your brewing/fermenting/bottling process. Online homebrew forums are a wealth of knowledge.

This kit has everything you need except the wine kit. It's best to by wine kits from amazon and they will have the Juice and chemicals you need. It's really easy to make wine from a kit but it takes 4 weeks. Way fun!

Mine actually came with instructions but if any instructions exist . . . you can google it. Most kits include the first batch of wine pre-mixed. You might be able to find the recipe for the wine supplier by googling the name and type of wine.
