Here are the tools I have picked up along the way.
 | Hydrometer: to measure the start and end specific gravity of the concoction so that you can calculate how much alcohol there is. |
| Fermenting bucket: for the early vigorous ferment | |
| Sterilising solution (sodium metabisulfite) | |
| Cleaning and sterilising solution | |
| Demijohns: big glass jars | |
| Bubblers: air locks that keep the bad stuff out but lets the brew vent carbon dioxide | |
| Bungs: for sealing | |
| Pipette: for getting the mixture out of the demijohn | |
| Plastic tube: for syphoning out liquid - the bigger the vessel, the wider the tube you need. |
