I have a Heron Bay Shiraz kit that's been going for a few weeks.
Last night I transferred to tertiary and added sorbate, metabisulphite and kieselsol.
The directions say to stir vigorously 6 times over a 24 hour period, to release unwanted gases, so that the clearing agent will work properly.
I've been at work all day and haven't been able to do any of the stirring--and it's been nearly 24 hours. Should I:
I'm mainly a beer guy and don't know much about winemaking, so I don't know whether I should prioritize the timing of ingredients or of the stirring.
Thanks,
chris.

- Just give it a bunch of vigorous stirs over the next few hours and then do the next step (adding Chitosan) before I go to bed? or,
- Should I give it another 24 hours and do all of the stirring it asks for (since tomorrow's Saturday) and add the Chitosan tomorrow night?
