I'm in two minds about conditioning...

Rack and bottle in a week or two...
Or just rack and leave it in the demi john for a few months
(or do half and half!)

Anyone here have any preferences.. Pros and cons?

also, what temp for storage?

Cheers

I'd say it's much of a muchness as long as they're racked and stored in glass. The only reason I'd have a slight preference for bottle conditioning is that you're going to have only a tiny fraction of the wine exposed to any lees.
