How do you make your wine the best it can be? I just started this hobbie and follow kit instructions to the T. I don't have space for bulk aging, so I bottle as soon as the instructions say to (usually about 6 weeks from pitching yeast to bottling).
Does anyone add extra tanning, oak, raisins, etc to their high end kits? If so, when exactly do you add it, how long, etc?
I'm afraid of messing with the wine and screwing up the balance the manufacturer intended.
I heard about extended maceration but would need to read way more about it
Thanks
