Just because I wanted to try one of these and to promote this kit to my co-workers, I ordered one and it came in yesterday. (Fri)
So, here is a picture of the box. 2nd picture are the "tools" that are included.
Pretty nice setup so far.
I will start this kit today and take pictures as I go along and then post them.

Wade, the picture of the siphon hoes has a white plastic cap like thing on it. That end goes in the juice. You suck on the other end of the hose to get it to go in the cube bladder.
I am making this kit as if I had no other wine equipment available to me.
It calls for filtered or bottled water. I have a Brita filter pitcher. It also calls for a bowl or stainless steel pan to hold about 2 gallons of liquid.
I used a big stew pot.
The directions didn't say anything about sterilizing the cube bladder. I sterlized it anyway.
Also, the yeast settled on the bottom of the pot, so I took about a 1/2 cup of water to get all that yeast into the cube.
I wait 7 days and then rack.
Overall, not bad at all!!
