Hi. I am new to the forum and winemaking, but very excited about making wine. I actually have started with two kits I have in primary and secondary, the Chocolate Raspberry port and orange port. Why I started with these I dont know but hope they turn out. Well I bought a couple of cheap kits and would like some advice. I have a Vino Italiano Barolo I want to start, but have read a lot and there is a lot of different advice. I have some Zante currants and french oak to add but have seen different things about when to add them. Any advice on adding to primary or secondary and any other tweaks anyone would recommend. Dont want to do too much to start with. I also have a Riesling I will start soon, so any advice on that would be appreciated.
One question I have is will the raisins add to the aging time. I know I need to age it as long as possible, but am anxious to have some to drink. Thanks in advance for any advice.
