Where's the best site to get a starter kit from?
I'm looking at getting the $80 one on this page:
With shipping it's like $106. Is that a good deal? What else should I order with it?
check out grape and granary in akron,ohio (grapeandgranary.com)......they're good people to deal with.
These starter kits are a pretty good way to get going without too much outlay. You might save a few dollars looking around but not bad prices. I would recommend you look around for a 5 gallon carboy to match the 6 and some 1/2 gal jugs. It is good to rack into a 5 gal carboy and a 1/2 gal jug so you do not have a problem topping up. If you go into this hobby seriously you will be replacing the corker with a floor model but the one that comes with it is adequate to get started. Also get some extra airlocks and rubber bungs to fit the jugs.
Are you getting a kit wine or what to start with?

I do not like to post advertising in usenet, but....
Winemaking Kit 6 Gallon $37.90 WK6 Kit contains: 6 gallon glass carboy, Potassium Metabisulfite, Rubber Bung, PIWC Bottling Siphon, PIWC Beginner's Book of Winemaking, Two-Bubble Plastic Airlock, Hydrometer (0 - 30 Brix), Plastic Hydrometer Jar, Yeast Nutrient, Wine Yeast (5g pkt)
Sounds steep! I can get one at the local supermarket with everything you'd need to get started for 40-50 bucks CDN.
I'd shop around some more!
