Good wine and cider making book

[kingchristo]

does anyone recommend a book for wine or cider recipes

I wouldn't recommend a book these days, just ask goggle for whatever recipe you can think of, but after a while you just get a feel for what to use and how to prepare it and experimenting is good fun and just like cooking it may not always be your best meal/wine (or it may) but it is usually edible/drinkabe

I quite like having a physical book to read. I've got one I like which has a little bit of everything: Ciders, wines, beers, sodas, sake. It's titled "true brews".

Cqr - I like the ccj berry book

I am with cheapbrew on this and there is always the fountain of knowledge here in the forum but if you want a book then as Cqr posted you cannot go wrong with ccj berry.

I do have two books I bought years ago, CJJ Berry's book "130 new winemaking recipes" and the "St Michael's, Ben Turner's Home made Wines and beers" which gives seasonal recipes.

I had a look at that after reading this thread.

Home Made Wine & beers by Ben turner is good amazon seems to have used copies available (original print was 1982)

Yes that's the one Mr Tea,

and my other Ben Turner book is the same one as Engineer posted the link to.

Have you read that one Cqr? I really like the look of it, and am half tempted for an e-bay purchase! I love 'Bens adventures in Wine Making' as recipes or not I find it entertaining. Another that I remember my Grandfather using was something like wine making by month or similar - he used to get success from that I think. I can see the cover in my mind - it was yellow, paperback with a brown picture on! I must see if I can find out what its really called!
