Hi all and welcome to my first post, apologies its so long
I'm fairly new to this but have made a couple of Youngs 7 day kits which where far to sweet for me and more like a Rose. There was also a few errors in taking SG readings etc. I moved up to an On the house product which has turned out a lot better than the previous kits (Perhaps less errors as well as a better kit). I have now bought a wine expert stags leap 8 week kit, the first two weeks have gone well and the correct SG of 0.996 has been reached, today I have syphoned off and degassed and tomorrow will carry out clearing. The instructions recommend 24 days with the oak cubes in then syphon off, 2 day settle, then bottle, does this sound generally all right or should I potentially leave this stage for longer? Any other advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance
