Hi All,
About to start the red mountain cab kit and was wondering if icould use the 14 day primary advice with this kit being that it is a grape skin kit and has anyone done it with these kits? i plan to just screw down the lid around the racking time for the secondary and count down the remaing days to the 14 mark and then rack,degass and stabilize and bulk age for three months on oak, and then clarify and bottle. Does this sound about right?Also i would think that the common sense in me says the more contact time with the skins the better so do you think i should adopt this and use it?
