Prepping the Blueberry to bottle. Had two gallons of blueberry in 5 gal carboy on the floor... Degassed using vinvac... lifted up to countertop and bonked the bottom of the carboy on the edge of the counter.. cracked it on the bottom and air shot inside the carboy...
At least it didnt break completely.. was able to lay on side. Could hear the cracks continuing.. all i had was elec tape.. no duct tape. In my hast to clean a 1 gal jug to transfer... I broke that.. geeze. Finally got gallon jugs ready and was able to transfer to them.. Degassing the gallon jugs now. I know I got tons of oxygen in the wine.. those bubbles you see did not disipate during this process. Did I save the wine or is it a lost cause.
