Sorry for the lapse in writing. I am working on several different posts right now as well as getting ready to experience my first vintage of personal wine. I am just going to crush the grapes, stick them in neutral barrels and see what happens. All my theories will soon be put to the test and I will let you all know how they fit in the frame of actual wine making. Right now I am going to the beach to try and clear my head.
Sulfites all the way! We're going to raise the free S02 level to 75ppm! Then we're going to adjust the acid with powdered tartaric, add some sugar to get the brix up, then finalize the batch with oak chips!
