The Goo
So my Cab has been clearing for the required eight days,
and it was time to rack it for 14 additional days for more clearing before bottling. The bottom 1.5" of the carboy was all sediment so I didn't rack that into the new carboy. The result, however, was that I lost about two quarts of wine... or volume of whatever I'm making. The directions tell me to top up the new carboy to within two inches of the top with cool water or a similar wine. I can do that, but it seems like two inces of goo/two quarts of wine is excessive. Is it? -- Bob Becker www.becker.org |
