Wine Making – #1 and #2
Well, I have finally decided to start making my own wine. So I started researching wine kits and I found a local store to purchase it from: http://www.robshomebrew.com/
So I picked up the kit, brought it home and unpacked it.
- Do it in 65+ degree weather
- Read everything first
- Clean everything second
- Find and Locate all packages and parts
Your probably thinking why are you telling me this … it’s in the book right? Well…yes, but you get very excited about making the wine and want to move on through it….so I’m trying to emphasis the small stuff.
As you walk through the steps, separate everything with each step and read each step all the way through. Again to reiterate, this is where making wine is tricky….it’s the preparation involved in each step…if you are not ready, your wine suffers. You become frustrated, quick and messy. This makes your wife very angry….
I have completed the first fermentation phase and waited 14 days to complete the transfer into the Carboy… for the second fermentation phase. This was a nice and easy phase, however, I once again got ahead of myself and didn’t come up with a plan, hence the reiteration of the patience.
So wait to see part #3
The most important piece of information I can share with you it would be….Patience.
