Hi folks,
I've been doing tons of research before starting my second batch of wine.
I've read, and talked to lots of "home wine makers" (here, and elsewhere) who ferment white wine) at 70-75 degrees F.
So, while doing some wine tastings, I started talking to commercial wine makers at some of the local wineries here in Maryland. Almost all told me they ferment white wines "cold"...55 degrees F.
What's the deal, can I do it, or is it beyond the realm of my skills??
I'm confused?
Doug
