The hardest part about making wine.

The hardest part about making wine is getting started! Really, making wine is not diffecult AFTER you have made your first batch. It's the first one that is the hardest, the unknown frontier, like baking your first cake.

Making homemade wine is very similar to baking a cake, there is a recipe and as long as you follow it to the letter, a beautiful cake or a great tasting batch of wine is the result.

You were nervous when you made your first cake, prematurely opening the oven a dozen times to "peek" before it was finished and now after your hundredth cake you mix up the batter, plop it in a pan and shove it in the oven and wait for the buzzer to go off.

It will be very similar when making wine. Your first batch will make you second guess yourself a dozen times. Was that enough sugar? Was that the right kind of yeast? Why did it stop bubbling so soon, is it done? Should I add more sugar and yeast? Why wont it clear fast enough? Woops I sucked up a little sediment, will that hurt this bottle of wine? And on and on........

By your hundredth batch of wine you will whip up a must, sulphit it, sugar and yeast it, ferment it, clear it and bottle it without wondering if you did it perfect enough, just like baking a cake.

So start making wine right away. Heck, make your first batch of homemade wine with the sole intent of throwing it away, sort of an experiment and you will be feeling confident for the "real" stuff!
