i just received my first wine kit! It is Winexpert Selection series Merlot (15 liters juice). i am a beer brewer who is going to try out some wine making.
I won't be able to make it for at least a few weeks. How long can the juice sit in that bag without starting to make the wine worse? I have it in my basement at about 64 or 65 degrees.
Second question: Is there anyway to tell from the package how long ago the juice was put in the bag? Also, does the dry wine yeast that came with the kit need to be refrigerated or is the 64 degree basement good enough?
