ben's adventures in winemaking ben's adventures in winemaking
Ben Hardy

Ben’s Adventures in Wine Making is a home brewing book with a difference. It is a tale of one man’s attempts to create delicious and interesting wine from unlikely ingredients. Ben Hardy takes us on a journey, in diary form, from picking his raw materials to drinking the final product. From the superb blackberry to the undrinkable potato wine, and thirty-one flavours between, Ben both amuses and informs in his efforts to produce the nectar of the gods. He is refreshingly honest about what does and does not work, and carefully records the triumphs, the disasters, and his long-suffering friends and family’s reactions. 234pp

Dave Line makes the concepts understandable and describes all the necessary equipment you will need to succeed. The author uses his practical experience at home brewing, his training as an electrical engineer and his outstanding sense of humour to shed new light on the topic of making beer from all-grain. 254pp
