I'm wondering what could have happened to my last Island Mist Peach Apricot Chardonnay. I had it in a 6 gal carboy aging for few months and even filtered it a week before bottling so I would have thought they would have been equally blended. However about half the bottles have had little to no sweetness. Others are sweet like normal.
I have made this kit before with great results, and I have another one ready to bottle that seems sweet. All of the bottles are clear in the "off" batch so it does not seem like some of them refermented. There is no fiz or sediment. I have a batch of afelwien where they started refermenting in the bottle and it is quite obvious with sediment and fiz.
This is not the case with the Island Mist kit, just some are sweet and some are not about 40% sweet and 60 unsweet.
Any ideas on what might have happened?
