Hey all!
I recently purchased a WE California Moscaro kit. I just transferred to the secondary fermenter(glass carboy). I want to carbonate it. I found some pretty good instructions for carbonating wine made from a kit online but it is kind of vague in one area. It says make wine following kit instructions up to clearing day and to not add the red it blue packages. This I understand. However the kit tells me I need to stir the sediment back up driving off CO2 or it will prevent clearing. The instructions say nothing about this. Should I still so this as the instructions in the kit say? I also have an f-pack. Would it be ok to add that at this time? I am going to be adding sugar when I bottle and eventually degorging the yeast out. I just want to make sure I don't mess up the entire 6 gallons..
Thanks!
