Newbie here just starting out and I'm jumping all in. Have started with growing grapes in the backyard to attempt making my own wine. While I sit and wait I would like to have my wine making room all set up for when I'm ready, the room I have started construction on is attached to a crawl space and I was planing on using half to store wine and taste and use the other half to make, ferment, bottle.
I was planning on tempature controlling the room to 55* for the storing of wine. But will this be to cold for fermentation of red wine? All the research I have done says 70-78 is ideal.
Should I just be looking at 2 separate areas 1 to work one to store.
I will be spending. Lot of time and money getting this room nice so also if the process will just make a mess maybe I should keep it away from the cellar all together? Any advice on what you guys would recommend would help out tons.
The room size I have is about 10'x8'
THANK YOU
