In the beer years when directions of steps called for vigorous stirring, I alway used a paint mixer attachment for the drill, Worked fine - I just put the Merlot kit into the primary fermenter, it has 3 stages calling for "vigorous" stirring. Not sure if I should or not, I used the long spoon. I stirred and stirred some more - there is a stage calling for wood chips, they are to be added and "vigorous" stirring. No matter what, the chips remain at the top, (wood floats) - I don't know what I accomplished, but whatever it was, I sure could have used the pain mixer.
My first though that maybe there is a fear of introducing air into the wine - (reverse the drill and slow it down) - no air - so my question is can I substitue the stirring with the paint mixer???
thanks for your patience - it is appreciated - ( I will get there yet )
