FAQs:

• How do I use the Crafted Series Crushed Grape Skin Pack? On day 1, place the skins into a straining bag and add to grape juice. Save any extra liquid for topping up when racking to secondary. Remove the grape skins when primary fermentation is finished and squeeze them thoroughly to extract as much pulp as possible into the secondary fermentation stage.
• What is grape pomace? Grape pomace refers to the solid remains of grapes, including skins, seeds, and stems, after they have been pressed for juice.
• What are the benefits of adding whole crushed grapes to the wine? Adding whole crushed grapes to the wine enhances the flavour, increases palate weight, and contributes to higher levels of anthocyanins and total polyphenols in the finished product.
• Can I use these packs with any grape juice? Yes, these packs can be used with various types of grape juice to enhance the flavour and characteristics of the wine.
• How long should I leave the grape pack in contact with the juice? Leave the grape pack in touch with the juice for some time to allow for maceration, similar to the process in a traditional winery. The duration can vary based on personal preference and desired flavour profile.
• Will using these grape packs improve my wine's colour and tannin levels? These grape packs can improve your wine's colour and tannin levels, enhancing its quality and complexity. 
• What happens when you add the red crushed grape pack to a white or blush winemaking kit? When the red crushed grape pack is added to a white or blush wine kit, the tannins and red from the grape skins will mix with the white wine, resulting in a subtle infusion of tannins and a blush of red colour. The extent of colour and tannin transfer will depend on the batch size and the contact duration between the grape pack and the wine.
