Plastic Buckets

I find that one can never have enough buckets and pails for making wine!

In general, buckets can be used for carrying must, racking, mixing ingredients, etc. Having a variety of sizes (5 gallon, 6 gallon, 7 gallon) pails is very useful. Often when purchasing grape juice for making wine, the juice comes in 5-7 gallon plastic pails. I suggest saving these buckets for use in the wine making process.

• Tip: Be sure to save the lids from your buckets / pails. These can come in handy for transporting juice or fermenting juice (if you choose to ferment in a bucket).
