Thanks Tom and Ben. I do not dispute your statements at all and I am sure that what you say is true. I can only say that I have not had a problem doing it the way I stated.
I think it does go to show that winemaking is a total process. Somehow, the total way I make wine has not had this problem where their method has. My method may have other problems that their method does not. Certainly, not every batch I make comes out the way I want it to. I started not worrying about gross leas when I heard about wineries leaving their wine on the skins for 3 to 4 weeks to get maximum color extraction. Other things led to it as well.
Eventually every winemaker must developed an over all method that works for him and, even if a qualified expert says he should do things differently, he should deviate from that method carefully. For this reason I recommend that new winemakers get a good book on winemaking that outlines general procedures and learns from it so he gets a total procedure down rather than trying to learn from this group where he will get bits and pieces of many procedures. He can then get advise from this group and deviate from the procedure in the book until he has developed his own method.
