Hi.
Though I've been brewing wine's since July - I'm still new at this. I'm
now the proud owner of my 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th bottling in the last 40
days. (Man, the racks fill up quickly) And some were kits, which have
clear instructions on time between racking(s) and then aging after the
bottling. I have been so busy at the brewing, that I didn't realize how
long I'd have to wait.

Especially the recipes for the fruit wines - I am getting from Jack's
site or others - are probably clear, but I'd like your advice. For
instance, I started a MANGO wine (1st recipe)
http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reques57.asp (my 7th creation) April
1st, the instructions say to rack after 10 days, then 30 days then every
2 months for 6 months. Stablize and Sweeten, wait 10 days, bottle. Age
for 1 year.

Just to be clear (hate to wait longer than I have to), that is 10 days,
plus 30 days, plus 6 months plus 12 months. That's 19 months & 10 days.
right? The "age for a year" doesn't include the 6 months of racking
time... If it means age for 12 months including the 6 months in the
secondary, I can drink 177 days earlier. :*) Not that I'm anxious, but
am probably just confusing myself here.

Willing to be patient, but don't want to...
