I made my first kit, picked a white, was hoping to be able to drink in 6 mos or so.
I started this kit on 2/7 and kept in primary to the 2/18 when my gavity hit 1.008 and moved to secondary, in both cases have kept in my room temperature pantry and the "wine" has been 64-66 dgerees when I have tested it.
Today 2/28 my gravity is .994 so I degassed and just degassed and added the packs #2,3& 4 (metabisulfate, sorbate, and isinglass) I topped off with about 6 cups of water.
My question - should I leave this at room temp for the 14 days clearing or can I move to my basement which is cooler around 55 degrees right now in winter?
I also planned to rack and age in carbouy an additional 2 months befor bottling.
Is this a sound plan?
