I saw a post that was about this but I had a couple of questions. I was given a beer startup kit a little bit ago and have brewed my first batch of beer and I was wondering if I could make wine with this equipment. My girlfriend doesn't like beer so since she gave it to me for my 21st birthday I thought maybe I could make wine for her 21st birthday in September. This is the description of the kit:
Includes 6.5 gallon bucket w/ lid, airlock, bottling bucket with spigot, siphon hose, racking tube, bottle filler, double lever capper, bottle caps, "True Brew" handbook, bottle brush, hydrometer, sanitizer.
I was wondering if a turkey baster would work in place of the wine thief (I already go that to get samples to check gravity for beer). I will be getting a 5 gallon carboy from my father next weekend. Would that work for making wine or should I get extra things?
Thanks for the help.
