I think I already know the answer to this, but just want to confirm:
Is it ok if some extra time passes beween transfer to secondary and stabalization? I have a WV Cal. Trinity Red going and its been 18 days since transfer to secondary. Time has just not allowed me to stabalize and degas. And I probably won't get to it until after the weekend, as we have family in town for the holiday weekend.
I know it's ok to let some extra time pass, but wasn't sure if there is a limit. I know I'll need the few weeks after the finings are added before I can rack for bulk aging. I guess my only concern is how long is too long for the wine to be in contact with the lees?
