  • possile premature bottling

    Hiya, I got youngs country definitive strawberry and has all been going really well. Only thing is I decided to bottle it as its been looking really clear for a few days now but as I bottled it its gone really cloudy again to the point if you look at it infront of a window there isnt even any light coming through. will this clear if I just leave it in the bottles now? Or do I need to do something to it?

    Personal choice. Either leave it to clear in the bottles which might leave you with a bit of sediment, or put it into a clean demijohn and wait for it to clear again. Did you accidentally stir up the lees as you were bottling it?
    Happy Gardening,
    Shirley

        The stuff at the bottom of the demijohn. That is one reason to rack first, bottle later. It gives a check on whether the wine really has cleared, and reduces the risk of getting lees in the bottles, because you already separated that bit.....
        Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.

          i.e. syphon off the good clear stuff from the dj leaving the 'orrible bit behind.

            aha thanks for that I love simple terms hehe. I have poured it back into the demijohn and starting to clear again. Will let you know how it goes.

              If you rack it off from the demijohn don't pour the sludge down the drain. It has lots of goodies in so you should put it on the garden.

              My carrots come up like corkscrews but they have a smile on their face
