Well, you learn as you go along. On the first batch of Caberlot, there was a grape pack and the mesh sleeve and I used it. Now I made the Cellar Craft Zin and it said you could use the sleeve or just pitch the grape skins in the fermenter. Big mistake, while it looks and smells lovely and actually looks like a real batch of red wine, getting those suckers out of there is a pain. First the siphon would not siphon on account of the grape sludge at the bottom of the pail and then I had to press all that stuff through a strainer. Use the sleeve! Oh well.
