Author: Scott Young has written in simple lesson by lesson format just how to make a great batch of homemade wine easily. If you follow each lesson carefully in his Delicious Wine Making Made Easy, you will most certainly be successful.
Scott is a confident and experienced home winemaker and shares his experience with you. I was impressed with his writing and organizational capabilities. His book is carefully laid out in 15 easy to follow lessons.
You must skip even one lesson or step, for your first batch of wine could easily be turned into several bottles of vinegar. Scott gives valuable advice on exactly what goods you will need, how much and where to find them. You will also gain the information on the list below and more:
• Preparation, fermentation and wine storage.
• Collecting needed supplies.
• Time management
• Proper sanitizing.
• The perfect work space.
• Counter top space.
• The importance of each lesson.
• Cleaning your work space
• The final product
Lesson three contains suggestions and recommendations for choosing just the right wine making items for the type of wine you want to make.
Reading each chapter vigilantly is crucial to ending up with a great bottle of homemade wine. After you have finished the fermentation and bottling process and have shared your wine with your friends, you will want to quickly begin your next batch. In the last three chapters Scott offers ways to raise the bar on you next winemaking attempt.
You won’t want to miss the information included in the appendix. There are ideas for wine tasting parties with score sheets and the “how to” for rating wines.
“Delicious Wine Making Made Easy” is truly the crème de la crème and a must read for all wine makers. Scott Young is not only a good winemaker but a great instructor and writer as well. After using his tips and techniques you will be assured a great bottle of homemade fruit wine.
There is another great wine making book currently available that I would like to also mention the Illustrated Guide to Homemade Wine is an exceptional book and is recommended reading as a wine making reference manual.
