Sorry if this has been answered, but I couldn’t find it. We all talk about how old our wine is or “wait x time to drink”. When do you start that counter? While this may seem like a silly question, I have found there isn’t a clear answer as even in a group of friends we are different. Some start when they pitch the yeast (0), others when fermentation is done (+10), some when the instruction period is over (+30-42), others when they bottle(+1800-260).
My take is when fermentation is complete and the wine is below .996, although a friend just uses the day he started the kit as he doesn’t keep very detailed logs.
What do you use?
