Winemaking Equipment

Having the right winemaking equipment is key to successful winemaking. You will need winemaking equipment for processing the fruit such as a crusher, and equipment for pressing the crushed fruit. When selecting these pieces of winemaking equipment your biggest decision is size. You need to consider what equipment you need for the fermentation like the fermentation vessel. You will also need equipment for creating a water trap such as an air-lock. Another piece of winemaking equipment that will be helpful is the hydrometer. This piece of winemaking equipment is used for tracking the fermentation's progress. Equipment such as the hydrometer is also used for determining alcohol content. You will also need winemaking equipment for transferring the wine from one piece of equipment to the next. One handy piece of winemaking equipment for this is a rack tube. Equipment such as the racking tube will help you siphon more wine and less sediment. Other winemaking equipment considerations would be things like stirring paddles, equipment for bottle washing and equipment for bottling the wine.
