...that is my question!
I'm hearing people talk about stirring their wine in the primary bucket. My kit instructions, however (Island Mist Peach-Apricot Chardonnay), say *nothing* about stirring the wine in the primary stage (Step 1).
There's no stirring in Step 2, either -- it gets racked from primary to carboy and left untouched for 10 days. Only after this does it say to use "extremely vigorous stirring" (Step 3: Stabilizing and Clearing).
I've already racked the wine, so my question seems somewhat moot...but should I be stirring during primary fermentation or not?
Thanks in advance...
