Hello,
I started my first kit on 12/14/14 - Eclipse Lodi OVZ. I am bulk aging now, going for 6 months in carboy with Med plus French spirals, then in bottle for at least another 18 months.
I am itching to start another kit, and want some quicker results. I am intrigued by what I have read about Luna Rossa and that is may be ready to drink fairly quickly.
Anyone who has made this kit: Would you mind discussing your method: time in carboy, any tweaks, when do you bottle and when do you start drinking? Would you mind discussing your tasting notes at "6-weeks" vs. any you've held for longer?
Also any other recommendations on "early drinkers" in Reds.
I want to get a bunch of 2 year kits going, but I would like something not too terrible to drink sooner. Need to show my wife that this will be a beneficial hobby sooner than later. Its fun as hell for me now - I even like cleaning bottles at this point. I'm sure that will fade.
Thanks to all in advance.
