"To stir or not to stir that is the question."
The kit instructions don't mention regular stirring it in the primary (after initial ingredients mixing when I stirred well). I know, and believe (truly I do) that with kits it IS worth carrying out instructions to the letter. I am not used to refraining from stirring the primary though, so I am wondering if it is an assumption I am missing...
This kit has toasted oak and plain oak, bentonite, yeast and 16L juice to make
23L. The kit says "Leave the container in a warm spot (20-25 C / 70-77F) to ferment for 8/10 days".I'm 3 days in and bubbling nicely. The smell from the primary is already beautiful, but I can't help but think that I should give it a whirl.
Would you guess that I am I right to trust the instructions on this? I have emailed Vineco but since it's the weekend I thought it might be more timely to ask the experts here!
