>>>The full matter is thoroughly described in textbooks for agricultural high schools here. I already had two seasons behind me when I got one of those books, and haven't learned much above the preceding paragraphs, except that out of ten typical mistakes we did only eight :), and the brandy was still good. For next season we fixed two more and it was excellent. Then lost the book :). Then tried a couple of unorthodox tricks and the quality stayed, it's just that the process got easier.
