something different come's my way...I really grown a fondness for Spanish wines this ones no different now that I've completed this I would and should have bought two kit. Additions were tweaked up the ABV. and added a full cup of raisins to the sock in the primary. The finish on the final racking was spot on, excellent and with in the first year of aging in the bottle it should be superb.

Joe, in the picture of your carboy there seems to be quite a lot of space in there. Did you have any problem with oxidation?
 
No I use and have always use nitrogen as a space filler always keeping the air lock ( bubble) on the proper side. Also when I can I also rack down, what ever volume it take.
This finish is as spot on as a finished wine can be, really
What your lókibg at is the finished racking,oñce from primary then two week wait racked again (2 week wait) then into final stages .
 
Just go to your local wine store and buy a can of wine keeper gas (Nitrogen and Argon), or also available from Amazon. A can goes a long way.
