A Step By Step Guide-Delicious Wine Making Made Easy

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.

After reading the very first chapter you will discover that Scott is well versed in the area of making home made wine.  This is a very well written, well organized and well thought out book where each chapter is divided into “lessons.”  

Chapter one contains your first three lessons. In lesson one you are given detailed information for gathering and purchasing just the right equipment to guarantee a great batch of wine.  In lesson two Scott fills you in on some “common sense” tips such as:

•    Finding the best place to make and store your wine.
•    Having all of your supplies together.
•    Giving yourself enough time.
•    Having a bucket of sanitizer ready as you need to place items into it.
•    Having a chair or a stool handy.
•    Having a stool, counter or table to set items on.
•    The importance of strictly following instructions.
•    Clean up your mess.
•    The two ultimate determining success factors for your wine. 

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.
