A friend of mine has just give me a really good book about winemaking,Its called, First steps in winemaking by CJJ Berry. The list of wines in it is endless, from tea wine to Mead, Coffee rum,Gorse wine, oak leaf wine and one that sounds really nice is Ribena wine. I need to get hold of some equipment from a shop in Stockport and then I think I might have a go.
Wine making book.

I have the same book as with many others, very easy to make a good wine up. I have done this for a few years now, great fun.

I'm sure someone else on the forum has recommended that book a few months ago. Must be a good 'un.
The shop in Stockport is very good, an Alladins den of contraptions and ingredients.
If you're after glass demijohns it might be an idea to ring up first as I was told they won't be getting any more in as the supplier stopped making them.

I have that book too. Its one of the very few books that is actually "readable" on the subject. I like its old home charm and the number of cardigans involved in the photos. It reminds me of my Grandad (and me these days 
).
Simon mate, I have everything Mr Berry mentions in kilo quantities, so if you want a few spoons of Malic acid or yeast nutrient or whatever, just drop me a PM

There is a better shop in middleton cheaper and I have found better with their advice. The owners gave up good well paid jobs to buy the shop when the previous owner was selling up to retire. As they didnt want to see it shut down and they have a real passion for brewing. They are great to talk to and have all the toys.
