Equipment has arrived


We have a decent supply of equipment for home brewing and winemaking available right here in the west of Ireland in Galway. The order I placed arrived in two days. Amazing.


Brewing has become big. I don't know about winemaking but the typical home winemaking operation seems to be making wine from concentrate delivered from various grape growing regions. I ordered a siphonless starter kit and two books, assuming we'd have our own grapes to process. The siphonless vat is supposedly a great innovation that avoids the microbial contamination issues associated with siphons. For our first attempt at making wine, a €50 spend seems spot on. I am certain it will be a valuable learning experience. It arrived with two vats, which I suppose is what it takes to make 30 bottles of wine, the way it was sold.  The journey continues.
