ways of measuring things etc.

I started with "Home Winemaking" by Terry Garey. The book deals mostly with
fruit, veggie, and other wines. If you're interested in making wine from
grapes, others may have some suggestions.

Ya, I agree, those bloody Americans *******s, never can tell what they
are doing by the way they measure things.

But here is a good home wine site with a link to free manual for
download.
