Amaretto Kit

[BikerShannon]

I'm thinking of getting this Amaretto kithttp://www.amazon.com/Classic-Liquors-Liquors-Amaretto/dp/B001KTWZDK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1234237817&sr=8-1

I read a thread here about them the other day and I stumbled across it tonight. Can I use a milk jug to ferment it? Should I just go get a glass gallon jug of wine? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I would get the gallon jug of wine in glass as you can make small batches of wine in it later an d or sanitizing solution in there. Look around and Im sure you can get a few of these around for free empty. I go to my local dump and grab them there along with wine bottles, clean them, sanitize them and also de label them. Also try and find some 3 liter bottles also. You will need many different size bottles when making fruit wines so as to have topping off wine for after you rack. Get yourself different size bungs also for gallon jugs and wine bottles.

Hmm...an excuse to drink even more wine. I like it!
Have you ever tried one of these kits, Wade?

You can also find fruit juice in glass gallon jugs in the grocery store a lot of times. I've found they tend to need a larger stopper than the wine jugs however (size 7 - 71/2). And they're not as fun to drink.

Thanks Dragonmaster! I was wondering what size stopper I would need. I'm going to the liquor store at lunch today.

Glad to help. You can normally use a 6 or 6 1/2 for the gallon wine jugs.
