I am hoping to get my hands on some fresh grapes in a week or two. 5 to 10 gallons of fresh must. Maybe viognier, chenin, or chardonnay. Depends what is ripe. That sounds great and all but I am perhaps jumping the gun a bit as I don't have all the cool toys and gadgets I would prefer to have in order to make the process both easier and secondly produce the best wine I can.
I should be able to get base brix, pH, and TA for the must after the crush but I don't have a pH meter, acid tester, etc once I get all the goodies home.
I have what I would consider a basic winemaking setup in terms of my equipment. Enough for kit wines, Skeeter pee, wines from juice, etc but what else do I REALLY need (the bare necessities) to get this fresh grape must to turn out?
