I have made 9 kits so far and I have a couple of questions for those of you who have been doing this far longer than myself.
1- Cleaning and sanitizing: I clean and sanitize everything after I am done with it and prior to storing it. When I need to use it again I feel compelled to reclean and resanitize. Do you feel it is necessary to reclean and santize items? How long is it "safe" to allow an item to sit before needing to resantize? Reclean and resantize?
2- Degassing: After stirring up a wine kit, do you ever feel you wine is 100% still? I always feel the smallest bit of fizz on my tongue despite my best efforts. However, I have had many commercial wines that had a bit of fizz to the tongue as well. If you do get your wine still like water, what type of stirrer do you use and what method do you employ?
3- Kit vs. Scratch: How much different is it to go from a kit to doing it solo?
Well those are my questions for the experienced ones out there!! I appreciate the help,
