The Wine Fact Center

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 Young positively knows what he is talking about and that is evident after analyzing the first section of this informative guide.   Delicious Wine Making Made Easy is arranged into 15 lessons that are amazingly well written and composed.  

Lessons one, two and three, located in the first section, contain vital information on products, materials, and ingredients needed for producing the wine.  It includes sound advice on such topics as:

•    Where to prepare, ferment and store your wine.
•    Gathering the needed equipment.
•    Setting aside time for this project.
•    Sanitizing your equipment.
•    Comfortable preparation area.
•    Counter space for equipment.
•    Following directions precisely.
•    Keeping a clean work area
•    Two points in achieving the perfect batch of wine. 

Each lesson takes you through the step by step process with lesson three containing thoughts and ideas for purchasing the perfect wine making items for the flavor of wine you desire.

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.

I am excited to have this book available at my fingertips as a reference guide for product tips, for recipe ideas and for trouble shooting when I run into problems.  Using this book practically guarantees making a great bottle of home made wine a success.

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.
