  • About

The archetypal image of home wine making is the demijohn (carboy). Traditionally glass, but also available in plastic, these vessels contain the liquid and are where most fermentation happens. They’re fairly inexpensive and are a common feature of secondhand shops and car boot sales. We use a 4.5-litre (1-gallon) demijohn. Other key items are as follows…

Airlock: A twisty tube (or more modern two-piece airlock) that is partially filled with sterilized water (pre-boiled, for example), allowing gas to escape without nasties entering your wine.
