I know that really good wine kits contain grape skins and seeds. IO was in the supper market and bought 2lbs of black grapes. did anyone try to add these grape skins to a lesser costing kit, would it be the same.

I had my wine bulking in the bathroom, I wish I had a wine cellar but I don't. The temperature was at 78 degrees. What I did was to put it in the bath tub with about 4 inches of water, wrapped a wet towel around the carboy, the wine is now it's reading at 72 degrees. I make sure the towel says wet.

I am making a cabernet sauvignon from a kit. The instructions do not add oak chips, but I would like to. I think it would add to the flavor. What do you think.
