Wine kit timings
Hi folks ... Looking for some help I just took delivery of my kit ready to start my first wine a beaverdale merlot 5 gallon... The thing is I work away 2 weeks and two weeks at home ....I have 12 days left of my leave .. Could I get my brew started get it racked into the secondary and leave it for 2 weeks before returning and addons the stabiliser and then finings ... I'd like to get it started ASAP and not sure about the timings ... I home to get the wife involved for future batches when I'm away ... Thanks in advance!

Re: Wine kit timings
Your best bet may be to start your kit the day before you go back to work, & it should be fermented when you start your 2 weeks off. Then you've got plenty of time to rack, fine, bottle, etc.
