I've begged and borrowed a couple of those really large squash bottles (our local supermarket does 5l ones) and they are perfect, and you're recycling too! I drilled a hole large enough to put an air lock in snugly made sure everything was sterilized, and there you have it! I didn't but any tubing for ages either, I just racked the wine off into the other bottle as carefully as possible. Also as they are plastic there are no flying glass injuries like those of someone I know who made an explosive ginger beer!

i've found the best place for wine making stuff is wilkinsons the stock all sorts of stuff i.e cambden tablets,finings,yeasts and quite a wide range of syrups,they also stock all the racking tubes,airlocks,bungs,corks and filter papers and dont mean to big wilko's up but for winemaking it was a dream come true,the brand of stuff is called youngs,they may have a site of there own. and the best place for demijohn's is car booty's

For home made wine you need to use a good wine yeast forget all the wild stuff keep everything clean ferment in a bucket (food grade) initialy then into a sterilised demi jon with an air lock to keep the bacteria out most problems are caused by lack of acid and or dirty equipment/yeast
