TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE
Wine making has never been so simple. Before starting, be sure to clean and sanitize equipment to be used. Bring all kit components up to room temperature.
1. PRIMARY FERMENTATION
Mix 2L of hot water and bentonite. Pour contents of juice base bag. Top fermenter up to 23L with good quality cool drinking water. If included, stir in oak chips or granular oak now. Use a hydrometer to measure and record the Day 1 Specific Gravity (S.G.). Sprinkle dry year on top of juice base. Cover with lid and keep fermentation area warm (20°C to 25°C or 68°F to 77°F) for the entire winemaking process.
2. STABILIZING/DEGASSING
On Day 14, measure the S.G. If wine is not in required range, check again in 48 hours Carefully syphon wine into a sanitized carboy, leaving sediment behind. Add contents of sulphite/sorbate package into carboy. Agitate wine with a stirring spoon. Stir in one package of kieselsol, saving the second package for later if there are two. Fit airlock filled halfway with sulphite solution into the neck of the carboy and leave for 24 hours.
3. CLEARING
On Day 15, stir the contents of the Reserve(s) into the carboy, if included. Stir in Chitosan(s). If included, add second Kieselsol 1 hr after Chitosan addition. If included, stir in Oak Cubes. Replace lid/airlock and let wine sit in a warm (20°C to 25°C / 68°F to 77°F), undisturbed area, away from direct heat and light. After 5 days, twist carboy without lifting to allow any sediment stuck on the walls to drop. Continue clearing process according to chart provided.
4. POLISHING RACK/AGING
Wine should be perfectly clear. If not, leave wine another 7-14 days to finish clearing. Carefully rack wine off of sediment (and oak cubes if present) into a clean and sanitized carboy fitted with a solid bung. Leave wine to sit undisturbed a minimum of 2 days to allow settling.
5. BOTTLING (CLEAR WINE ONLY)
Carefully syphon your wine into clean and sanitized bottles. Cork bottles and leave upright for 3-5 days, allowing cork. to expand. Invert or store on side to keep cork moist. Store wine at 11°C to 18°C or 52°F to 65°F. If choosing to carboy age wine, top-up with a similar style wine and fit with a solid stopper. Bottle aging is the preferred method.
