After transferring the Enigma to a Carboy, I figured I might as well get this one underway, too.
Nice kit - comes with a big jammy grape skin pack, oak chips (for primary) and oak cubes (for later). Two bags of chitosan and RC 212 yeast.
Got the juice in the bucket with oak. Pre-grape pack SG was about 1.065. Placed the bag o' grape skins and stirred several times over a couple hours before pitching yeast and the SG went up to 1.095. Glad, too - I was pretty tired from driving all weekend and didn't want to be up mixing sugar/simple syrup.
Going to take a peak at it this morning. But, it smelled and looked awesome last night.
