My mom got my dad a winemaking kit for his birthday. He's a tinkerer extraordinaire and it's a sure bet that he's going to get into this big time. He's always talked about it and now he's got the weapons to do it with. To top it off, he's a retired botanist/researcher for the University of FL, so he's got TONS of different fruit varieties that he's going to want to ferment, most of which are growing in his backyard in N. Florida.
Anyway, I was going to get him a air compressor with a nailgun for Christmas (he's in the middle of building a porch on the back of their lake house) but that winemaker got me thinking that there's probably a ton of stuff I could get him related to his new hobby that he'd get a lot of mileage out of. He's 70, so he doesn't need to be picking up any heavy 8 gallon tanks of juice, but he's probably going to try if I don't intervene with maybe a rolling stand or something. I'm also thinking about a corker for the finished product.
Anyway, any good ideas on where I could order some wine supplies from?
THANKS!!
