Purchased last month and now I am ready to get it rolling.
I saw people recommending step feeding ports so you up the final alcohol and use less brandy. (Jim and Mike? @ibglowin @Boatboy24 ).
Raisins: Instructions say to add raisins 24 hours after adding yeast, instead I want to chop them using a knife and pour into primary bucket right after adding the juice, so before adding yeast. I assume this should be ok?
90gr of Oak chips: instructions say to add after 3-5 days when SG is around 1.040~1.050
why not at the start?
Not sure what the initial SG would be but it looks like it will drop quick within 3 days, so I need some guidelines on when to add simple syrup (sugar) to step feed.
Thanks..
