Go to your public library and read and study about winemaking, go to a good bookstore and look for winemaking books, do a search on google for The Winemaking Homepage and read the entire website, then get with George and order a nice equipment and starter kit that fits your needs. No need to get started making wine until you have read and studied up on the entire process. You will likelyfail and get overwhelmed and frustrated and disinterested.Does this help?
