Hi all, I'm the new guy on the block. Really like this forum.
Also pretty new to amateur winemaking, but have been enjoying and learning about professionally made wine for several decennia.
First question : what is the general feeling about following the wine kit instructions..? Especially with regard to the use of sorbate and clarifying agents (bentonite, chitosan, isinglass)?
If you are making a dry wine and bulk age it for an extended period of time, instead of bottling after X weeks as the instructions say, wouldn't it be better to leave these additives out?
