Getting close to bulk aging a couple of kits. I will only be bulk aging for 3 months (max) on these particular kits so I can free up the carboys.
To get the bulk aging started I am going to rack off the lees/sediment, degass, stabilize and add the clarifiers. After doing so do I need to rack again before the 3 months are up or just let it sit for the entire time?
I plan on continuing to age in the bottle for another 6 months or so. I will probably try a bottle here and there after 3 months of bottle aging to see how it is coming along. Given this do I need add additional k-meta at the beginning of the bulk aging process or just before bottling?
Sorry for the barrage of questions. Just want to make sure I get this right!
Thanks,
Pete
