I am in the process of finalizing a 6 gallon batch of Mezza Luna red. I just degassed and added meta and sorbate. After 14 days, the batch is ready to bottle. Although, I am not ready to bottle. Therefore, I noticed about 2 inches of lees at the bottom of the carboy. My question is; will it hurt to rack once more and remove the lees from the bottom of the carboy?
Can I rack to a bucket, clean the carboy and rerack back to the same carboy? Will the air exposure spoil my wine?
Thanks,
Sal
