I have only made wine kits before. I now have Carmenere, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Grigio jiuces in primary fermentor. I added toasted american oak to the primary for the reds. I plan on MLF for them. How do I know if I should be using oak in the primary when it's the first time with a juice? I will be adding MLF bacteria in a few days and sometime later I plan on oak. Again, how do you know whether to oak or not?
