greetings,
I have made a few successful country wines so far, so I decided to try red wine.
I crushed the grapes and put them in a barrel with a thick cloth cover. i started with an SG of 1.100 and punched the cap 2 times daily for 4 days. now the SG is 1.010 and ready for secondary but the color is not red enough. it's more of a dark rose than good red.
what do I do? let it stay more on the skins and close the lid or settle for what I got and go for secondary?
thanks
