- Fermenting and bottling containers: Each should be seven gallons a bigger.
- Airlock and Rubber Stopper: You need a rubber stop or lock', which will keep the bacteria from entering and at the same time, allow the carbon dioxide to escape. These locks are made of glass and filled with water. The carbon dioxide bubbles through the water and at the same time keeping any bacteria out.
- Siphon Hose: Is used to transfer your beer from the fermenting container to the bottling one.
- Bottle Caps and Capper: To seal your beer bottles. Try to get one that can be mounted to a surface and be worked one handed.
- Bottle Brush: Is the prime aid in your sanitation and sterilization fight.
- Bottles: Avoid anything with threads on it - you will never be able to get the cap to seal the right way. You cannot keep the threads sanitized.
