I racked my gooseberry last nite and had about a pint left over. I started out with a 5 gallon carboy and a 1 gallon jug. I had tasted it along and it seemed pretty good, a little dull but okay. Today I tasted the the pint and
it has a vinagar taste. I still have a 5 gallon carboy setting there trying to clear, I had added bentonite to it about 3 or 4 days ago. I haven't tasted the 5 gallon carboy, but it's probably the same, the only difference is the pint was in the refrigeraton and cold. If the 5 gallons tasted the same way, is it time to dump it or can anything be done to save it. Also, what causes it to go to vinagar?
Thanks
