OK, looks like Jack's website is trying to avoid a lot of people from
developing bad wines until they have some experience. I think I'll
stick to the 3 month rule for now, when I have a bit more experience and
can afford to waste a bit of wine, I'll give extended aging on lees a
go. This is obviously something you have to watch like a hawk, daily
I'd guess, and have the equipment ready for when things do go wrong.
