David, great video! I'm about to start getting into the wine-making hobby and would really appreciate it if you could share a spreadsheet or timeline outlining all the steps involved. I have a couple of questions. First, I'm a bit confused about racking. Is it primarily done to help clear the wine? Wouldn't it be easier to just add bentonite during the second fermentation and only do one racking? Also, you mentioned letting the wine mature for about three months. Is it possible to bottle the wine (adding sugar, potassium sorbate, and Campden tablet) and let it mature in the bottles instead?
Unfortunately wine doesn't work on a timeline and recipes change how things happen which is kind of why I kept this video general. Follow a good recipe, there's a video on the channel about where to get good ones, or do a kit for the first batch and follow the instructions. As you see it all happen it makes sense quickly how it works. As far as letting the wine mature, where you want to leave it is up to you, the carboy or bottles works as long as there isn't much empty space in the container.

If you’re thinking about making wine, make Mead instead.
Lol I've thought about it, why do you say mead?
