Sorry, I have bought the equipment from kijiji and making my first wine now.  

Took me $50 to buy a corker, carboy(21L)x2, bucket, plus the rest except wine thief, brush, chlorine, sulfite, testing jar which I got them from the store, ~$10.

Still missing sulfiter and filter optional but cost more. Vacuum filter is ~$60 and sulfiter ~$20. It would be good if we can share some of them like MP did.

The 8-set package is a great deal, but almost impossible to find 8 men to buy at the same time.

Still interested in "合买酿淡酒用的浓缩葡萄汁(~$27含税)". Please count me if you go.

Thanks

Honey dear, what 21L carboy . . . . :eek:

To all: besides 11.5L and 23L, do NOT buy any other size carboy, unless:
- 20L carboy (u want to make wine from frozen must=grape juice; they are also available in 23L format); or
- u intent to make wine by pressing grapes yourselves; or
- it is free :p

U can share/lend floor corker, not suggested for hand corker.  Pending on age and handling of carboy, u may not want to use vacuum filter with used GLASS carboy that may not be safe.  Sulfiter is extremely handy, but not necessary if u only do 1 or 2 batches per year.  The last one cost $14.15-20%+2taxes~=$13.

Discount only apply to purchases of 4xDuo=8 wine kits at same time. If only 2 of u buying 1 kit each, it will be $64.99+9.5% GST= $71.16 (duo kit=2 kits), hence ~$35.58 each, instead of the ~$27 after discount price that I've mentioned.

The Costco Argentia Ridge-Château Private line costs a bit more, but is better value for $.  Becareful there is a Costco Paklab-Vino Europa line, a lot lighter.

For now, anyone else interested in buying wine kit or equipment, please reply to this post.  We'll make a decision Sept. 15.

我要买设备还有kits, 可是有个问题：这个设备里面没有filter怎么办？需要另外买吗？
谢谢！

设备里面没有 filter，不需要另外买。 自己家里喝的，可以不过滤。不过滤 酒只是少了点 sparkle (闪亮)，但过滤后 味道可能淡了丁点; 送礼的话，酒闪亮点会比较好看。意大利人酿葡萄酒不过滤的，说"不传统" 或 “不好”。

不过滤的话:
1. Clarification 后（最后一步），只需要多等待1到4周，灌酒时多加小心就行, i.e. don't move settlement  at the bottom; or
2. do one more syphon, add 1/4 teaspoon Metabisulphite(please double check quantity with wine store), and rest carboy for 1-12 more  weeks.

Some wine store sell filtering pads(~$3-4) and RENT filter equipment for few $/day.  U can CHECK  Mosti Mondiale on Jean Talon est, or the one in Cote Vertu (advertised in the other free Chinese Newspaper; do not buy anything except filtering pad there). Costco kit is better than their similar wine kit at 200% price; their frozen must is OK.
