I was thinking about messing around with this kit just a wee bit and was hoping for suggestions.
I have en route tannins for both primary and secondary fermentation. It seems people often recommend adding tannins to red kits to enhance them. However, this kit comes with both oak chips and bourbon barrel oak cups. Would adding additional tannins be redundant or risk too much tannins? I started the kit today, so if I do go ahead, I would probably simply wait until the secondary stage and add the appropriate one then.
Being new to wine making and this being my first red, I hadn't planned on being any more adventurous than this. However, I am open to suggestion. Any other ideas of how to enhance this kit? Or...should I just trust WE and leave it alone?
Thanks
