WineXpert Aging Kit Wines

[blackfin1]

Hello All: I am new to the wine making hobby and I plan on making wine from a vintners kit. Vintners claims the process only takes 28 days to make wine. Being I plan on bottling during the spring, can the wine sit in a carboy for a longer period, oh approximately 3 months or do I have to bottle as per the directions?

THanks,
Sal

Yes leaving it in the carboy for an extended period of time is ok. In fact, I would say it’s the preferred method for most on this forum. The biggest thing to know is, make sure your wine is protected with the proper level of sulfites.

Add 1/8 tsp K-Meta ~every 4 months that you bulk age if you don't have any testing equipment.

is bulk age when you don't bottle but leave it in the carboy as OP wants to do?

That is correct.
