Avis sur le produitWinemaking : Recipes, Equipment, and Techniques for Making Wine at Home by Dorothy Anderson and Stanley F. Anderson (1989, Trade Paperback)

A Must Read For The Home Wine Maker by Alexander Rubio

It is a relief to read positive encouragement to good wine making. If you are thinking about trying your hand at making wine at home then, this book is a must read!

Winemaking by Dorothy Anderson, Stanley F. Anderson (1989) is divided into four sections:

The Basics - for those who want to know what it's all about
Recipes - for the doers who just want to make a good wine without being burdened by explanations
Techniques - for wine makers who want a more complete understanding of the equipment and procedures
Reference - for those who want to know the whys and wherefores

As a wine maker myself, I found "The Basics" a good guide to the beginning wine maker and an excellent reference book for the current wine maker. The equipment listed in the book is actually everything I use to make my five gallon batches of wine. Since I only produce a few selections of wine, I found "Recipes" refreshing and gave me the information needed to feel comfortable trying my hand at new varieties of fruits to ferment. I am excited to make some of the recipes to produce a few Holiday Wines for my friends and family. The "Techniques" section is thorough while remaining simple and concise. This is the most important part of the book and I would recommend paying close attention this section when making your wine, even current wine makers benefit from reading this section. The "Reference" section is good and necessary to the many possibilities that may pop up as the wine is made.

The book's binding looks like it could be a home made book but, do not let the binding take away from the knowledge inside. It is well written, well organized and will leave you anxious to make your first batch or try something new from the recipes.Lire l'avis complet...

I love this book and it has a good author.

I have used this book for many years but I lost it in my last move, so it was good to find it at a good price'.
If your looking for a good home winemaking book, this is a good one.

Good text but a bit dated...

In reading into this text briefly, I have formed the following opinion(s):

-The intro and text are fairly clear and consise.
-The techniques outlined are mostly considered 'current practices' (some things don't change).
-Some of the concepts are showing a little 'wear' from updates resulting from modern biochemistry, etc.
-Many of the ingredients mentioned are no longer available from the supplier / brand mentioned in the text. "Most" ingredients or compounds can still be found with a quick internet search albeit under a different name/description.

All in all, I'd recommend this book as a fine reference text with the following caveat - bear in mind that this was last copyrighted in 1989...

Yeast still brings fermentation, but a few things have "moved on" since it was written.Lire l'avis complet...

OK for reference.

I am a novice winemaker. Book is not a beginners guide.
