Скачать или смотреть Winemaking at Home Part Two: The Secondary Ferment

Hi! I'm Jeff and I'm half of this little project that we like to call Home.

What's the first thing we do when you get here? Bust out the bottle opener and pour a glass of course!

It's time for the secondary ferment! Join me as I show you how to add more fancy chemicals to your grape juice to turn it into the good stuff; a merlot that will please even the pickiest of sippers.

**A Few Brief Notes**

1. We purchased our wine making kit from Costco, but they're available all over the place! Here's a link to the one we used: https://www.amazon.ca/Argentia-Ridge-...

2. Yes, the kit is cheaper at Costco. We paid $80 CAD.

3. Don't like Merlot? Neither does Jess. There's a Chardonnay Kit as well, and it's picky sipper approved!

4. We happened to find most of our wine making tools (hydrometer, buckets, bottles) from a really nice lady on Kijiji. The rest came from a wine making store. Yes, they're a thing and they're EVERYWHERE.

*The List*

In order to make Merlot (or any wine really) at home you will need:

Two 5-6 gallon buckets, or one bucket and a carboy of equal or greater size
Sanitizer (we use StarSan)
A hydrometer and wine thief
Mixing spoon
Bottles
A corker (recommended but not necessary)


Thanks for watching!
