Corkers:
Double Lever Corker (included) 
The double-lever corker is the most popular.
It is easy to use and one person can operate it easily.
The cork is inserted into the slot and is compressed as it is being pushed into the wine bottle. Because it is compressed as it is inserted into the bottle, it leaves a dimple in the cork. This doesn't affect the aging but isn't as attractive as other corkers that leave a smooth "polished" look to the cork.

Portuguese Floor Corker (adds $50)
Bench corkers are great for corking your wine.
The Portuguese corker has a plastic iris that pre-compresses the corks. The handle that pushes the cork into the bottle is adjustable so you can control how far the cork is inserted. The bottle locks into place as you are corking to keep the wine bottles in place.
The floor corker is the best way to go if you make a lot of wine—it's practically indestructible, extremely efficient, and will save you a ton of time.

Degassing Rods:
Degassing is an important step in the kit winemaking process. It helps push co2 out of suspension, which allows the wine clear and age faster. We suggest using a degassing tool to ensure this step is properly done.Mix-Stir (Adds $19.99) 
Designed for stirring beer/wine and degassing. Manufactured in high quality polycarbonate with ABS blades and steel insert. The blades act like a turbine for maximum mixing and stirring efficiency.
The mix-stir fits any electric hand drill (variable speed drill with reversing capability recommended.)
The mix-stir comes standard in a 24" length.
The mix-stir is long enough to be used in large primary fermenters and barrels. The plastic blades also make it safe to use with glass carboys.

The base kit also includes the following:
7.9 Gallon Primary Fermenter with Drilled & Grommeted Lid
Many winemakers use a food grade plastic bucket as the primary fermenter to ferment the must (unfermented wine). This is great for making wine as the large opening of the bucket makes the initial mixing of the wine easier.
A lid with a grommeted hole and airlock is used to seal the fermenting bucket. An airlock is filled halfway with water to allow CO2 to escape while keeping bacteria and oxygen away from the wine.

An airlock is filled halfway with water to allow CO2 to escape while keeping bacteria and oxygen away from the wine.
6 Gallon Secondary Fermenter with Stopper Secondary fermentation simply means that the wine is transferred to a second vessel to finish out the fermentation process. Using a second vessel accomplishes two things.
First, it helps to break up surface tension causing particulates to drop out of suspension. This results in a clearer, more shelf stable wine.
Second, it is easier to avoid sediment when bottling because you can see where the sediment is.
A 6 gallon carboy is a good secondary fermenter for six gallon batches, as it reduces the amount of airspace which can lead to oxidation.

Glass carboys have other benefits.

- Glass carboys do not absorb odors.
- Easily sanitized.
- Cannot be scratched.
- Will last forever. (Unless you drop them)
Bottle Filler
The bottle filler attaches to the tubing that is attached to the auto-siphon and has a valve on the tip. The valve releases the wine into the bottle when pressed on the bottom of the bottle. Fill the wine to the very top of the bottle and remove bottle filler. The filler displaces the exact amount of air space needed to cork your wine. It is a very handy tool.
