I made a big mistake this summer and I wonder if those of you with more
experience can advise me. I had 20 lbs of blueberries in the freezer for about 6 mos. This spring I thawed them and started a new batch of blueberry wine. It fermented to dry, cleared very well and I then sweetened it (boiled sugar water) to semi-dry. Problem is, I failed to stabilize. After bottling and sitting on the rack for the past 6 mos, I noticed a dark blue sap bleeding through the corks of about half of the bottles. I opened one of the bleeders tonight and sure enough, it's somewhat carbonated and has obviously begun to re-ferment. My question is, should I dump this batch or can I open the bottles, pour them back into a carboy and let the yeast run its course, then sorbate, sweeten and re-bottle? Thank you in advance for you anticipated responses, you are all a very helpful (and patient) group of people. Paul |
