My wife and I have started to make our own beer and have had great successes, now we are getting into wine. I have a couple questions, first does it make any difference on what color glass bottles I use, we are making a red wine and I have collected clear bottles and dark bottles. Second I'm having trouble keeping my wine between 72-75 degrees like the instructions say. The sticker thermometer on the outside of the fermenter says about 69-70 degrees, now when fermenting the beer I read that the actual temperature inside the fermenter will be about 5-10 degrees warmer than the outside air, is this the same with the wine and if not do I have a problem with it being this low or will it just take longer to finish? Lots and Lots of questions sorry but all the help would be appreciated big time. Cheers.
