This is now in the fermenter. OG 1.079, Oak chips are in. 1 packet rc-212 + 1 packet e-1118. Following kit directions. Temperature controlled at 72 degrees. "Let the adventure begin"

This is the Vineco kit. I took another look at the directions, and they show using both additions. A bit of a misunderstanding on my part. I am just wanting to avoid an over-oaked wine. (If there even is such a thing). Again, this is my first red wine kit, and I really want to get it right

First time making a red. This kit includes 2 oak packets: 1 - Oak Chips Med/Hvy Blend, suggested to add at day 1 2 - Oak Cubes French, suggested to add at day 15 Directions say to use one or the other, with no comments on the impact on the wine. I'm just looking for comments and recommendations...
