I've been a brewer for 1 year and now am trying some wine kits. I have a few questions about my 1st kit. Is a 4 week 2007 Grand Cru Petite Sirah.
.....The directions on the kit say just to rack once to the carboywhen fermentation is complete. Ad the stabilizing and clearing agents then, and degass. On these boards, people seem to rack a few times to help with the clearing. Will doing this help my wine???
.....Also can I bulk age the wine in the carboy longer or should I bottle when the directions say.
Or, should I just stick to the directions and their timetable.
Thanks
