Please give the steps and chemicals required to prepare the home made red wine from grapes
 
Just checked my Cabernet Sauvignon yesterday, started August 11, 2018 from Texas Hill country grapes we picked that day. It has been bulk aging in a 6 gal carboy for 6 months now. I added 1 cup of French medium toast Oak at the start of the aging process with 1 1/4 tsp of additional wine tannin and put in another cup of Oak yesterday. Have been checking it every 3 months. Coming along nicely, but did a touch more Oak. Good nose, legs, taste and finish. Looking at 3 to 6 months additional aging. Could actually bottle now, but experimenting with bulk aging is an important part of this for me.
