bramble wine
hi all, Ive just finished filtering my first demijohn of bramble
wine....looks lovely and smells lovely too. How long should I let it mature for in the dmijohn before bottling please? Should I add another campden tablet now? ( I added one pre-filtering and left for 24 hrs.) Many thanks. McKev

bramble wine
I always bottle my wines as soon as I am sure
they are finished. Finished means crystal clear and stable. I let all my wines bottle age. I only bulk age in de DJ for as long as I do not have the time to bottle. Luc -- http://www.wijnmaker.blogspot.com/

bramble wine
I bottle some of the batch in mini-bottles.
I try a mini bottle each 3 months to half a year. That way I know when the wine is ready and I do not spill a whole bottle. Luc C. U. Jimmy wrote: "Luc Volders" wrote in message ...

bramble wine
I let my blackberry wine age at least 9-11 months before bottling.

bramble wine
I've just re-read your post, why did you filter the wine? I would not
filter any red wine, or dark colored fruit wine. Do not bottle the wine until it is clear. -M "C. U.

I filter all my wines. Through habit I guess. Why not? McKev
