The little winemaker - full version

Bagging a degree in Oenology does not give you an instant comfortable place in the winemaking world. The daily manoeuvre in a winery requires know-how of the whole process and the minute details of the machines and gadgets used. This book gives an elaborate look and instructions into all that with the use of notes and graphics.
Written and created by an Oenologist and Viticultural Engineer whose work in many countries for many years gave him the knowledge of all things winemaking and shared them all in this book. It is written in an informal, even jesting voice and should be easy enough to be understood even by those who have no formal education in Oenology.
„ It started with making notes on the job, and grew over years to this book. I am not a professional publisher, so please have indulge with maybe little errors here and there, (..though there shouldnt some be any more).
This book is for everyone who wants to understand winemaking by a not overloaded scientific but didactly new way of easy explanations. This book is the `opposite` of the Handbook of Enology.
I use colourful charts and 3D graphics, explaining also simple things, which other literature might classify as to infantil and to simple. To often the simple questions are the urgent essential ones. -Here I try to give simple answers.
I don't think you will agree with everything in this book, as many technical answers are indeed more complex and complicated. But it has always been my goal to give a short understandable answer in the first place, rather than a long complicated and incomprehensible answer.
Go to the wine cellar and in the stress of vintagge, stand in front of the tank and try to make wine with the Handbook of Enology. Then you will know what `The little Winemaker` is about.
Better 95% and a simple answer, than 100% complete but a practically useless answer.
Not only the way of winemaking is described in colourful easy to understand Flow charts. But also machines, like Plate filter, tank press and Barriques are nicely explained in its functionality, by the use of 3D graphics.
In virtual 3D cellars, it is shown how to actually set up hose lines for all steps like filtration etc..
Sample fermentation charts give you the oppertunity to compare your fermentation, to see where you are and what to do or to expect next.
Standardoperations like Proteinstabilisation or Chaptalisation, are not only described in words and theoretical descriptions, but it is in 3D graphics explained how the machines and hoses are actually assembled, and handled when doing the work.
Aside from these classic steps in the production, special cases, like Rose, Ice Wine, rotten grapes, stuck ferments and many other interesting issues are discussed and given directions how to handle or solve it.
- You study winemaking enology and viticulure, or you have just started the job, and you are still insecure, having still so many `simple` questions?
- You have just decided to change your profession, make your passion to your profession, and you want to make wine? You need a speed - crash course in winemaking?
- You are in the wine trading, and you have questions you had always wanted to know and understand?
- You think the existing winemaking literature is far to complicated and does not really help you, and is also not enjoyable to read?

..then you must have this book. Its not only easy to understand, but also nice to look at and to read ..at least I hope. Any feedback and also hints for corrections are highly welcomed, for maybe a next part matching then vineyard management.

I hope you enjoy,..
