I have only made wine once before and it was from a kit and it came out pretty good. So about 8 months ago i figured i would try making a Merlot from just juice. I bought a 5 gallon pale of must, went through all the normal procedures. About a month ago i added some oak chips, i tried it the other day. It was very acidic and also the color was extremely light. I have knew the color was light the whole time to but figured it might fix itself but obviously has not. Any suggestions for fixing this or will it get better with time. When should i bottle. Any suggestions would be helpful
