Adding yeast after cold soak

[MCARCIERO]

Hi guys,

So im removing my grapes from cold soak (5 degrees Celcius) and putting them at room temperature today.

Do I have to wait 24 hours before I add the yeast?

IMHO, it is not so much how long you wait as it is the temperature of the must. I would wait until the temperature was in the 70-75 degree F range (about 21-24 degrees C) before I pitched my yeast.

Thank-you. Will do
