Hello,

My father recently passed away and when we went up to his house to clean up
we found a lot of tools to make wine. Now my son really wants to give it a
try. So we went up to the library to get a good book, but there are still
some things that are not very clear and we were hoping you might fill in our
questions. let me explain :

We understood that hygiene is one of the most important assets. These tools
we found in my father his house are coloured slightly "green" because they
haven't been used in a very long time. We didn't even know they were there.
Can I clean them in some way or is it better to buy new tools?

The only thing that was missing were those very large glass bottles. We do
however have four of those plastic waterbottles. Can we use these instead?
they are 18,9 liters.

Is it wise to use "used" bottles of wine? after cleaning them of course.
there's a lot of yes and no's about this in different books and sites.

and one last question, there was lying a ripped paper around that said
koffiewijn (translated coffee wine) but the recipe was not readable anymore.
We searched google from top to bottom but came back empty handed. does
anyone have or know where we could find this recipe?

friendly regards
Guy and Jonathan
