when allowing homemade wine to age, do you count from brewing day, or day of last racking?
Filed Under wine racks
asked:
i believe the question says it all. i jsut recently looking into home brewing my own wine. i understand most of the process, except, when a recipe says “let age at least ____ (time)” do you count from the day you finished brewing it, or from the last day you “racked” it??

I’ve always counted from first racking. Fermentation is done, majority of impurities are out and the waiting begins. Then again I like to bottle age my mead and that’s done after the final racking.
