I started my second kit this weekend. I have a Vintners Reserve Chardoney in stage 2 going on its 10<SUP>th</SUP> day. It was my first time and I have to say it looks nice and clear. I ordered some bottles and other things the other day along with a new kit a Vintners Reserve Blush – Chablis. I received a video with the order. My problem is that the video doesn’t match the paper directions. The video suggests stirring the juice in the primary during fermentation. It also says to loosely place the top on the primary. The directions don’t make mention of this. Should I be stirring it up every day or so during stage one? Should I worry about the top being on the primary with an airlock in it?
Newbie stress, Sorry
