Hello...after brewing beer for few years, I want to make my first wine. Trying to keep it easy by using Welch’s grape juice.
I have 3 quarts of grape juice, will add 3 cups of turbinado sugar in hot water, and a quart of frozen red grapes to get some tannins instead of using store bought chemicals. Finally, Lalvin K1-V1116.
Can I add of this into 1-gallon wide mouth glass fermenter and let it ferment for a month in primary only? 1 day outside in room temperature (75F) and remaining days in my wine fridge (I use it to ferment lagers) at 65F?
Or do I really have to rack it to secondary after a week or so in primary?
Thank you for your help!
