I make small batches of wine/cider. Apple, cranberry, grape rarely, tepache, and I have a big old hunk of ginger I was thinking of turning into some ginger beer.

Distillation interests me but I don't have anywhere to do it.

You have room.

How do you make your wine? Do you use a 5 gallon bucket for primary fermenting and a 5 gallon carboy for secondary fermenting? I am interested in how you make the ginger beer. I have never heard of tepache. It sounds like something I'd like.

I use a food grade bucket with hdpe 2, I've got a 2 gallon and a few 6 gallons and a few 1 gallon glass jugs. The ebay link you posted I would stay away from that thing, you don't know the quality of it. Now how I make my wine is buy Juice from the market and I like using nottingham ale yeast or munich classic wheat yeast. Add yeast and wate a month then rack to secondary jug.
