Wine Log

It is generally recommended to keep a log of one's attempts at making wine, for future reference and learning from one's mistakes. It occured to me that other's might find this useful, also.

Total Bottles of Wine (Actual/Projected):4 / 40

��1 These costs may seem high, but a majority is reusable equipment and chemicals. The purchases were also spread out over time. As more wine is made, the overall cost per bottle will go down. ��

Jack Keller's Wine Making Homepage
A very well done website covering every aspect of winemaking in technical detail. Loads of information. He's also very good at answering questions and has a useful and interesting blog.

The Southampton Wine Making Pages
A more irreverent look at winemaking. Reminding us all that we sometimes take ourselves way too seriously.

The Joy of Home Winemaking
A happy medium between the above two links. I haven't read her book yet, but it's only a matter of time.

The Better-Bottle Company
One of the few complete systems designed for winemaking. See my observations here.
