I've read Jack Keller's? Extended Instruction for Making Wines from Kits and
have a few questions after comparing Jack's instructions with the instructions from the wine kit. I'm fairly certain Jack's instructions will produce a better wine, but I'm new a this and would like some clarification. A few differences I noticed: Following the wine kit instructions, The first item is to add the Bentonite with a half gallon on water and Jack's instruction say to add Bentonite around day 29. Any idea why this would be so different? Another difference is according to the wine kit, I should rack the wine after day 7 or when the SG reached 1.010 or less - Jack's instructions don't mention racking the wine until about day 30. Should I rack it around day 7 or day 30? Do I run the risk of giving the wine a "yeasty" taste if I wait to rack it? Brandon |
