There are many books on winemaking, some good some bad, CJJ Berry's book was great in its day, but the recipes and methods are somewhat outdated now, for example the ammount of sugar used in the recipes produce wines that are too sweet (in my opinion) and I personally dont like the sugar feeding of yeast till it dies, I feel it produces wines that are too high in alcohol, and more modern practices render this technique obsolite in my opinion.
So what books do you read on winemaking...and why? (apart from the freebies in the downloads section of course)
and in case you missed them here they are again
what advice would you give a newbie regarding which book to buy?
I like Terry Gareys the joy of home winemaking, it is a little lacking in "method" but good sound advice for newbies.
but for great info on the whole winemaking process progressive winemaking Brian Acton and Peter Duncan
