Greetings! Just joined
My question concerns secondary fermentation...I started my first wine kit about 2 weeks ago and according to the instructions am ready for secondary fermentation. I decided to do the whole thing in the glass carboy because I do not like the idea of things sitting in plastic and was told this would be fine.
So today i'm going to rack from the carboy into the bucket, mix in the stuff according to the directions that came with the kit, stir to degas etc and then siphon back into the carboy. Does this seem OK?
Also, my house is at a constant 73 degrees (for plant growing purposes). I understand this is ideal for primary fermentation, but is it OK for secondary too? I will be able to store after bottling at 60ish later in my basement, but that area is off limits for now.
Thanks in advance for your time!
