Home Winemaking Step-By-Step A Guide to Fermenting Wine Grapes

Written expressly for beginning and advanced amateurs, this guide explores home winemaking in practical terms, focusing on the latest fermentation techniques of both red and white wine grapes. Detailed information on equipment, supplies, and mistakes to avoid will make getting started easy. Advanced winemakers will appreciate full explanations of sophisticated topics such as malolactic fermentation, extended maceration sparkling wines, and chemical testing. Also included in the new edition is information on the use of oak barrels. Unlike other winemaking manuals, this is devoted entirely to wine made with grapes instead of fruit wines.Iverson, Jon is the author of 'Home Winemaking Step-By-Step A Guide to Fermenting Wine Grapes', published 2000 under ISBN 9780965793636 and ISBN 096579363X.
