Default Vineco Ken Ridge Legacy Pinot Noir Primary.

"To stir or not to stir that is the question."

The kit instructions don't mention regular stirring it in the primary (after initial ingredients mixing when I stirred
well). I know, and believe (truly I do) that with kits it IS worth carrying out instructions to the letter. I am not
used to refraining from stirring the primary though, so I am wondering if it is an assumption I am missing...

This kit has toasted oak and plain oak, bentonite, yeast and 16L juice to make 23L. The kit says "Leave the container in
a warm spot (20-25 C / 70-77F) to ferment for 8/10 days".

I'm 3 days in and bubbling nicely. The smell from the primary is already beautiful, but I can't help but think that I
should give it a whirl.

Would you guess that I am I right to trust the instructions on this? I have emailed Vineco but since it's the weekend I
thought it might be more timely to ask the experts here!

Opinions gratefully received, Jim
