I've been looking at the "More Wine" catalog sitting on my desk for over a weeks now, I never opened it, thinking that it would just be another one of those useless catalogs with over priced goods...
I started to look through it this morning and was very surprised, not only do they offer some of the nicest equipment for those who make much more volume than I do, their descriptions are incredible, if you have doubts on what a particular item is used for, you won't anymore after reading through this catalog,
The Kit wine section goes into detail about every kit they sell, these are the best descriptions that I've seen from most any vendor, I cant see how anyone could have questions about a particular kit after reading through this.
The sections that I found most useful are the Wine Yeast, Enzymes, and additives such as Sulfites, Acids Encapsulated Yeasts, Tannins & Malolactic Bacteria and MLB nutrients.
These are all topics that come up a lot on the forum, this catalog goes into great detail describing the yeasts, yes, you can research this online, but having it all in one place to reference is a great tool in my personal opinion.
Another real nice section is the Oak barrel Alternatives, once again, they go into detail explaining the pros and cons of oak chips, cubes, staves.
This is followed by the Oak barrel section, once again, great detail explaining the differences between French, American and Hungarian Barrels, and the various levels of toast, and how the various barrel sizes will effect the time you keep your wine in the barrels.
This catalog is more a reference tool to have at my finger tips, if you don't get one, I would contact them and request one.
