I made homemade wine maybe 15 years ago using Winexpert kits and had a lot of equipment but then had kids and moved and etc etc and sold off all my equipment. Then couple years ago a friend gave me all his beermaking equipment. So I'm thinking of restarting up my winemaking hobby, maybe the Winexpert Nebbiolo, this fall. I looked over the instructions and I think I basically have just a couple of items I will need.
So I have a large plastic fermenter, airlock, valve nozzle, lots of hoses and things. I don't really remember the exact details of each step and so I'm wondering what's the bare minimum additional equipment I need to make the wine. Is the primary in the plastic beer fermenter OK? I remember I used to have some 6L glass secondaries but is it possible to somehow reuse the primary? What's a reliable simple sanitizer these days (I remember using a powder with oxygen in its name).... Thanks for any and all help!!!
