Last night I just bought 14 cases of Merlot (from California) and have put them into two plastic barrels. I have the barrels sitting under my back porch outside, where the temperature is supposed to hit 24 degrees Celsius (75 F) with a humidity reading of 28 C (82.4 F). At night the temperature drops significantly. Later on in the week the temperature is supposed to get hotter with higher humidity. I live in Southern Ontario.
Is this good for the wine? What is the ideal temperature? How can I achieve this ideal temperature? Should I move it inside? How long should I leave this in Primary fermentation?
Thanks,
