Hi all! I've been lurking here for about a week, but this is my first post.
I just started my first ever kit - a Grand Cru Cabernet. I had bought my ex-wife a wine making kit about 10 years ago, and when putting away Christmas decorations I found she had left it all in a corner of the attic. I had tossed the juice kit years ago, but most of the supplies were there. This past weekend I took my girlfriend on a little day trip to Daytona to finish up the supplies and got my kit.
Everything went perfectly until I put the air lock on the primary bucket. Pressing it down raised the level of the K-meta I had in the air lock, and when I released pressure, some of it went into the must - maybe a tablespoon.
I don't THINK it will be a problem, but I sure would like a little reassurance... Please? Just a little reassurance???
Or should I go ahead and start my second kit - a Wine Expert Cailifornia Zin-Shiraz???
