I'm looking to do my first wine in the next couple of weeks, a Cab, and I'm wondering where most of you buy your kits?
Also, I have extras of most of the stuff I brew with, and will more than likely keep those extras specifically for wine. Do most of you that brew beer as well use the same equipment, or keep it separate?
Lastly, I have a new 3 gallon barrel that I plan to put the wine in to age. Its american oak, and I've heard that 3 weeks should be enough time. I plan on using half of it in it first for 3 weeks, and then take it out, and put the other half in after, and age it for longer. Does that make sense? I also plan on using the barrel for brewing a wild after its done, any suggestions on that?
Sorry for all the questions.
