This is my first try @ maiking wine.I just opened the box and read through
the instructions.Nothing is said about the two hugarian oak sticks anywhere.
I assume that they get added to the primary with the oak chips?

Most likely they do go with the oak chips. The instructions on RJS are somewhat generic as they don't tailor it to each wine. I purchased a Red limited quantity wine and it came packed in a white wine box.

I called for clarification on some items and was somewhat taken aback with the lack of knowledge on wine making from the person I spoke with.

For the money we spent on the kit you would think the directions would be
1st class.The rjs kit was reccomended but i my try a different brand next time.
