Both of which are stll young wines but had cleared sufficiently and I need the carboys. Anyway, after I got them all bottled, using my floor corker,
I went to cleaning the sulfite residue off them and saw little pieces of cork floating around in just dang near every one of them.
From the 50 bottles, I had 3 bottles of Muscadine and 6 bottles of the Port that I could not see any cork in. Has anyone else ever experienced this? I have already decanted the Muscadine, straining it through one of my "high tech" panty hose stretched over a funnel.
As I stated earlier, I was using a floor corker, wirth plastic iris and had soaked my corks about 10-15 minutes in sulfite solution. Normally I will just throw them in a bowl of sanitizer and slosh them around a bit but Saturday morning, I was bottling outside and put them in the solution and left them while I finished bottling. HAs anyone else experienced this?
