Okay, so I've been making wines from kits for exactly 10 years using glass carboys. I'm ready to get my hands dirty and begin making wine from grapes; or, as one friend suggested, buy fresh juice and fortify it with a lug of grapes.
Either way, I want to do this in oak barrels - not sure what size just yet.
Anyway, I know I need a press and of course an oak barrel, what else do I need that I'm missing?
Any thoughts would be appreciated, including the idea of using the grapes to fortify fresh juice.
Thanks.
