In the 6 bottle starter kit you get 2 buckets, a siphon hose, a hydrometer, 6 bottle caps, a long spoon and the various pouches. I also bought separately a long testing tube - long enough to let the hydrometer bob up and down.
In the 30 bottle kit, I guess you just get all the pouches for 30 bottles.
So if you buy the refill kit it will be cheaper per bottle, but you'll have to buy the kit - e.g. a bucket, (I'd get a demijohn and a bubbler thing - seems more hygenic than it bubbling away in a bucket), hydrometer, siphoning pipe.
By having the 6 bottle kit with all the guff, you know that you have everything in, tho' the equipment is a bit cheap, and there's no sterilising tablets in - it just suggests boiling water.
I'm happy that I bought the kit as it had everything all in and has got me familiar with the processes involved, and now I can move on to making my own! |
