Hello Cellar Crafters. In the last 11 months I have made 13 WE kits with 2 more bulk aging and 1 in primary. After reading glowing reports about the CC w/ CGP kits, I ordered a Red Mountain Cab and a Rosso Fortissimo from George. I can't wait to start the kits after examining the skins pack, just have to wait for a carboy to open up.
My question is whether I should use an extended aging timeline if the carboy with the stabilized wine will be sitting on my tile floor in the kitchen. We keep the house at 77' in the summer here in Austin. My other option would be to use the minimum timeline of 5 weeks and put the bottles in the wine refrigerator to age.
I was thinking of 90 days from primary to bottling.
Thanks in advance for your help!
