Hey All,
So noobish question here...
I'm brewing a bucket of montepulciano, and it just finished fermenting so I racked it and topped it up.
I plan on letting it age another 6 months or so before bottle aging for a couple of months (christmas gifts). I don't plan on backsweetening it either.
So based on this, what should I do at various stages? I'd like to add as few additives as possible.
My plan so far is to rack every couple of months to let it clear naturally, and just bottle in october sometime. Can I get away with this, or do I HAVE to add stuff at any point?
Thanks,
Ryan
