Stirring your must...

[colorado_wade]

Hey all,

I just pitched the yeast on an Eclipse Stags Leap District Merlot kit 2 nights ago, and fermentation has kicked into high gear. I was just curious how often you guys stir your must on high end kits that have grape skins?

Thanks in advance,
Wade

A couple times a day is sufficient, more if you’re around and like to do it.

Stir and punch often. Sink those little grape skins and maximize contact with the wine.
