Hi,
How do you go about checking a red wine that is in a carboy bulk aging as to when it has cleared? Could I use a wine thief to steal some, look at it in the tube and then return it to the carboy so that I don't have to do more topping off?
[I'm on my third RJS kit a CC Winery Series Washington Merlot. My first RJS kit was a low end end red and I simply followed the instructions with no thought of checking for clearing. My second kit was a Pinot Grigio so being a white wine it was abundantly obvious when the wine cleared.]
Thanks...
