Hey Group.

I've been reading you for quite a while, and been wondering all the
time who the posters are. Professional Winemakers, Hobby-Winemakers,
or just interested alot in that topic?

I btw am german, studying winemaking in Austria.

Sorry for this a little off-topic post,

I'm a hobbyist who started brewing beer over ten years ago.

I'm a mild-mannered economics professor by day, and I've been making
beer since 1991.

With the beer, I go all-out. It's flower hops, all grain, and liquid
yeast.

My usual supplier (grape & granary) seemed to have more emphasis on wine
& cheese. So I started with cheese (I'll be ordering a press in the next
couple of days; I just did the simple ones so far), and then ordered a
couple of the brewking (vintner's reserve?) concentrate kits, and then a
bucket of juice . . .

This year I ended up with three buckets of fresh juice.

I like the results, but I'll probably stick to the upper end
concentrates & commercial buckets. I certainly like the results, but
really good beer is still my thing most of the time. It gets along with
my sinuses (sini? *much* better. Currently, I'm cutting way back on
the clarifiers to see if that helps.

Err, you do realize that google only archives this group (and the rest
of usenet), don't you?

A newsreader or most browsers can get it without google. In a browser,
you typically need to type "news://rec.crafts.winemaking".
