I'm going to be starting a Chilean Malbec kit from Master Vintner tonight which will be my first kit wine. I have two questions:
1) I read through the "Top 10" advice thread for kits. Great advice. I would love to have ideas on how to make the kit wine even better. So, I plan on over oaking and bulk aging it longer than they say. If you have more tips that would be outside the instructions...I'm all ears/eyes.
2) I have a 7 gallon primary fermentation bucket. I'll be filling it up to the 6 gallon mark. Is the one gallon of headspace going to be enough to prevent it over flowing when it starts fermenting?
Thanks in advance. Life's an adventure. Might as well make wine while enjoying it.
