I have roughly 3 bottles of extra wine that I had to take out of my carboy to make room for additives. Two of those bottles were after adding the metabisulphite & sorbate (this was for 2 batches of chocolate raspberry port I did at the same time in a 6 gallon carboy and I needed 8 cups of room for the F-pack) so I'm just going to let those sit and clear on their own, but one is from before the additives, so it's still cloudy.
Has anyone cleared just one bottle before? Should I even bother? It's not a full bottle, maybe a little over half. I know it's better to keep it just in case I need to top something else up, but I'm finding that everytime I end up with such a surplus and don't think I'll ever use any of this wine for topping up purposes. I hate to throw it out, but don't want to let it sit forever with no purpose!

) I didn't know if that would make me sick. But if you say it's ok I trust you! I am really surprised at how much wine I had to displace. I have two whole bottles of just the Raspberry part of the port, without the chocolate f-pack, and it's pretty good! (took a little sip, hehe) I can't wait to try it when it's done! But I will wait, patiently
