After over 125 Winexpert kits and a dozen more Mosti Mondiale kits I've got my first RJ Spagnols kit. I had to almost take the bag of juice out of the box to find the 250g package of dried grape skins at the bottom of the box. Lots of kits use oak chip and/or oak dust but this kit has oak spirals as well as a poorly marked foil package that may contain oak as well.
So HELP!!! Has anyone else done a RJ Spagnols kit and been a little mystified by the instructions (or lack thereof)?
Product date code (on box label) -- I haven't found it
Rehydrating the grapes -- does it matter how much water or long before adding to primary?
When do you add the oak spirals and how long?
Limited Edition kits might be very special a few years from now so I'd like to make the kit correctly.
Thanks in advance for your help.
