We crushed but did not destem.

We crushed but did not destem.

So , a lot of Tannins in the Wine , I suppose !

All looks awesome! I want a barn to brew in!

 

[grapeman]

Not necessarily a lot of tannins if he picked the stems out by hand. I also noticed the door and thought you had a great impromptu table there. Did you ferment the reds with the skins, etc and if so when did you press (what sg or brix adjusted for alcohol)?

Not necessarily a lot of tannins if he picked the stems out by hand.

But , he said that he did NOT destem !

[Sirs]

shouldn't be alot of tannins from stems if he crushed then pressed... now if he let them ferment with the stems then possibly more but I'd think not just from crushing then pressing

 

[hector]

if he let them ferment with the stems then possibly more

That's exactly what I meant .
