So I made my first batch of wine the other day and in the written instructions it said after cleaning and sanitizing to rinse off the sanitizer with water. Did I misread something?
 
No.. it depends on what the sanitizer is. Some are no-rinse, some leave a film that should be rinsed. FWIW I don't like remnants of sanitizer on my equipment and I always rinse with boiled water.
 
Awesome thank you maylar! Also. I forgot to add the bentonin (?) in before the juice concentrate from the kit. But I put it in after before the yeast. Airlock is bubbling so I don't think I screwed it up completely
 
You can add the bentonite in at most stages (not during ferment since it can slow it down), in commercial wineries it is added at juice stage and/or the finished wine stage.
