I did get a new winemaking kit. dont panic about the below.

But I did dig out some "stuff" someone gave to me that was winemaking
related, just to see what was there that might be usefull.

please note, this stuff was stored in poor conditions, as in out in a
leaky garage all last summer, fall, and winter(and this early thaw)

Looks like there is a hand corker of poor design, #9 corks in plastic
bags the vendor folded then stapled(instead of heat sealed, couple of
airlocks, couple of tapered corks whith holes, bottle of camden
tablets, lots of envelopes of chenicals,yeast, and such(all ruined to
to temp and water), and a tiny hydrometer

the chemicals I am gonna toss, as i got plenty from my new kit, the
corker i might play with, to help me appreciate what a real corker
saves me from. I suppose i can test the old hydro against the new one
and see if it works. and maybe soak the corks in water then sanitizer
and use them for practice.

anyone see any issues i should be aware of(corks wear out, hydrometers
decalibrate, etc.)
