Homebrew PCBs

Hi guys!

I'd like to make the vias of my board and I think the best method is
electroplating. But, I was looking for some information about it, and
I didn't find something that I can understand.

My question:

How can I make a good vias using electroplating? I was reading and I
have some ideas: clean the copper side of my PCB, use an acid bath,...

But I don't know how many volts and amps to make it, concentrations... 

is there any good manual step-by-step?

Thanks.
