As new a newbie as newbies can be
Hi,
I have just started my first ever winemaking experiment and from past experience of doing new things, looking forward to having something to put on my chips. Can anyone suggest a good book or comprehensive web site for me to look at. (With the assumption that I know nothing) Cheers RDC

Welcome,
I'd start with Jack's site - http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/index.asp. There are a lot of books out there, I started with Terry Garey's book Home Winemaking. I'm sure others will chime in.

I certainly hope you come up with something better than to put on your
chips! That aside, and as you are obviously from the island, I would suggest you pick up C.J.J. Berry's books: First Steps in Winemaking and I think the other one is 100 New Wine Recipies. They are both writen for the British Winemaker. If modern home winemaking has a father, I would propose it is Berry. Ray "R-D-C" nospam wrote in message ... Thanks all, wish me luck!

You will have luck, RDC. The recipies in 130 Recipies are good but it is
worth having for the winemaker cartoons that are in it. I go through it once a year to enjoy them. Ray "R-D-C" nospam wrote in message ...

Hehe
I added me wine finings today. When I looked at it I wasn't sure if I wanted to or not because it was clearing already. I am completely new to this so experimenting can happen once I have got a few bottles under my belt. Accidentally slopped a bit onto my hand so couldn't resist giving it a lick. To my horror, it tastes like wine!!! Weird. "Ray Calvert" wrote in message . .. You will have luck, RDC.

You are a newbie. ;o) You are not suppose to accidently taste it. You
should be intensionally tasting it at all stages. Even when it does not taste great. That is part of the learning and after you learn it it is part of the regular testing proceedure. It is a very nice hobbie! Ray "R-D-C" nospam wrote in message ... Hehe I added me wine finings today. When I looked at it I wasn't sure if I wanted to or not because it was clearing already.

Hehe. I am only fermenting in one gallon jars so did not want to taste in
case by the time it gets to bottling there is only one and a half bottles worth left :-D The two books you recommended turned up today. Now both in the tiny library to be read at regular intervals ;-) Thanks for the advice. "Ray Calvert" wrote in message ... You are a newbie. ;o) You are not suppose to accidently taste it.
