Hi Guys
Kit arrived this morning and started my first batch of Kenridge sauvignon Blanc tonight (couldn't wait). Quick question, I added the oak chips as instructed which ended up a bit lumpy even after a thorough good mixing and were left floating on the top and left a scum line. Is this Normal and should i worry about it? Everything else went rather well. I'm assuming the Oak Chips will eventually sink. I made sure everything was sterilised before even going anywhere near the wine. The missus said she wished i would get this excited about decorating. While im on sterilisation how long does VWP last made up? I poured what was left over in a gallon container incase i could reuse.
Will keep you updated on my first experience of wine making. My initial SG was 1.082 and bang on 24 degrees. Fingers crossed this turns out as expected.
