Hello fellow winemakers! So this is my first time making wine from actual grapes! I'm very excited to get started I just kicked 100 pounds of Cabernet and 100 pounds of Zinfandel and I'm ready to go it has SAT overnight with potassium metabisulfite in the buckets. My problem is I cannot find it anywhere on this site just a good list of step by step directions for making wine from grapes. I've done a lot of research and read a lot of articles on different sites and sometimes they don't jive. Does anyone have a good list of steps or do you know where one is? The specific gravity was 1.020 getting started. Thanks for any advice or help you may have for doing this for the first time. I'm very excited as I've only done kits in the past but again I'm not sure what to do with the pH balance or acid testing or how long to ferment and do I do a second fermentation? Just general steps. Thank you! Cheers!
