Mosti Mondiale Winemaker's Toolbox Kit

[uavwmn]

Just because I wanted to try one of these and to promote this kit to my co-workers, I ordered one and it came in yesterday. (Fri)


So, here is a picture of the box. 2nd picture are the "tools" that are included.


Pretty nice setup so far.
I will start this kit today and take pictures as I go along and then post them.

UAV, can I see a pic of that cubitainer, racking hose, and label?

Thanks UAV. I think that they would make a good gift. It will be interesting to follow along with you as the kit progresses.

Wade, the picture of the siphon hoes has a white plastic cap like thing on it. That end goes in the juice. You suck on the other end of the hose to get it to go in the cube bladder.
I am making this kit as if I had no other wine equipment available to me.
It calls for filtered or bottled water. I have a Brita filter pitcher. It also calls for a bowl or stainless steel pan to hold about 2 gallons of liquid.
I used a big stew pot.
The directions didn't say anything about sterilizing the cube bladder. I sterlized it anyway.
Also, the yeast settled on the bottom of the pot, so I took about a 1/2 cup of water to get all that yeast into the cube.
I wait 7 days and then rack.
Overall, not bad at all!!

Wade, awesome!!!! Step 1 of the directions DID say to sanitize all equipment.


Once this starts to ferment, I will Post more pictures.

I too am interested in how uav's (original poster) wine kit turned out. Until I saw those pictures he posted, I just did not realize how much stuff came in that tool box. Gives me ideas on gifts to send come Christmas time. Ok, I know that's a long way off.


UAV can you post any more pictures of this kit, like the wine already bottled. Or any more comments on how the wine turned out.


Thanks, TinaLouise

unafordable, this is a great toolbox for someone who may be on the fence as to whether stick with a wine making hobby.


I used strictly the tools in the toolbox. I found the hose a little short for my liking.


The Cab is in the bottle aging as we speak.

Great kit as a gift, I would think.

I had a little problem with the collapsible container as it had a pin hole in 1 corner so I actually had to use 2 gallon jugs for primary then rack it into 1 gallon jug and 2 wine bottles but the wine came out very good.
