The new RJS instructions say to complete ferm in prim. and degass in
ferm. We as winemakers are told to have the blanket of gas in carboy to
protect our baby! I'm on the edge on this one as I want to bulk age but
dont want it exposed to O2 for a long time and am not going to go out
and buy a inert gas to blanket it. What are your opions on this as I
want to follow instructions but dont want oxidized wine and dont want
this kit to have to be replaced after working on and waiting patiently
for bulk aging just to find this wine is bad because of O2.
