Can I wait a day or two?

[JONJON]

Hi!

I am making a batch of Shiraz on a Sunday (20th March) and might need to press on the following Sunday.

My question is. If the wine is ready to press on the 20th (reading zero or below) is it okay to leave 'on skins' for a couple of days if I'm moving house? Or should I press when the wife and kids go to bed?

Sorry, complete newbie.

Cheers,

Jon

Shouldn't be a problem, there will still be plenty of CO2 protecting the wine.

Fantastic, thanks. We are moving house in the middle of everything, so the wife is a bit pissed with the timing. a day or two I can work around. Thanks mainshipfred
