got the idea for this thread from a comment by Arcticsid in a post
so show off your homemade wine making equipment
doesn't matter what it was or how small of a piece it is I'm just curious what people have done or used
ill start
this is my primary........ it is a 5 gallon food grade bucket that i poked a hole in the top of and use some hose from the sprayer we replaced on the sink this spring stuck in it going into a mason jar with water in it for an airlock(i like to keep it covered we have ants and flies around here in the summer time so i just take the top off once a day and stir it up good during the first week)

this is my secondary........a 3 gallon water cooler jug with the rest of the sprayer hose and a little glass milk bottle wired on to the handle for my airlock
(i haven't gotten farther yet but I've tested using a turkey baster to empty the water from the bottle when i would need to rack it and i can get all the water out except a drizzle that doesn't amount to anything)

so far I've spent nothing but time and around $9 or so on the carboy/water jug
my next idea is adding a spigot to the bucket to make racking simpler
already checked out the parts just haven't bought them yet or got the ambition to do it yet
why i did this all myself instead of buying it all is it made it more fun for me
especially when i showed it all to a friend and got nice comments on it
anyway have fun with this thread and like i said even if you've only make something tiny it doesn't matter post it and join in
