I've got a RJS Old Vine Zin. thats been in the primary for about 10 days now. This is my third grape skin kit, and on this one I decided to throw the skinsin the primary without thehop bag.
I don't think that I will have trouble with my racking tube clogging. I modified this Bazooka kettle screen to slide over my racking tube......It works great for racking beers that are being dry hopped.
My only question is will the skins still soak up a lot of the good stuff. Not being in a bag there is no way that I can squeeze out what has soaked up......
Maybe the skins will have soaked up less being that they are not bunched up in a bag......
Any input from someone who has done this would be great...I read that you get better extraction from the skins this way, thats why I gave it a try....
Thx
