I am attempting my first kit called Cru Grand Malbec. I hope I didn't screw things up too bad.
First, I racked at .999 not .998 like the kit said. I guess after getting everything out and and sanitized, I couldn't wait any longer.
Secondly, while siphoning I was so busy looking at the bottom of the primary fermenter that I didn't realize wine was overflowing the carboy out onto my kitchen floor.
I picked up the carboy and put it into the sink, and siphoned some wine out to make room for stirring.
Thirdly, at the adding chitosan to the wine step it topped off the carboy again.
So, I tried to stir, but he stirrer made it overflow again.
I again siphoned some more wine to make roon for degassing. I have no idea how much of the chitosan is in there?
Should I be concerned? Or, should I just bungand airlock it and see what happens?
