How do you know when it's too cold to make wine?
When you see an attorney with his hands in his OWN pockets. Just had
to put that in.
Some people have been drinking wine for a couple
years and some people have been drinking wine for more then 50 years.
Chances are you've probably asked yourself at one point or another:
"Could I make my own wine? Would it taste great? How do I do
this?" The answer to your question is definitely "YES."
You can make a great glass of wine all by
yourself, and won't have to quit your day job either. Now a day's
making wine at home has become a very popular hobby. More and more
stores and online retailers are specializing in home winemaking and
home brewing supplies. There is an increasing supply of new books,
periodicals, and websites available for aspiring winemakers.
The process of winemaking is actually fairly
straightforward. This does not mean that winemaking is easy. However,
what I have found is that the process in learning how to brew your
own wine can be fun, entertaining and very rewarding.
Winemaking in general can be broken down into five
steps:
1) Plan
2) Monitor
3) Process
4) Age
5) Finish
I have learned that wine making involves a number
of decisions. When I first started out I wasted a lot of money and
time. I had problems with saving yeast from batch to batch,
fermentation, temperature control and a lot more. I was very
frustrated at times but was determined to succeed. I learned a lot
from all of my failures however. I also learned a lot from reading
books, joining a wine making club and reading various magazines.
When
I started out I just learned the basics and got to it, so my
winemaking experience has been trial and error. To be honest, I wish
I had someone to help me out through the process, and thats what I
have decided to do I would like to give back and help you learn the
ins and outs of making your very own wine.
