So yesterday I transferred a batch I started last week into a secondary. I like to make a little bit extra in the initial must, enough to have a wine bottle or so left over to use for topping up.
I had my carboy all cleaned and sanitized, as well as a small bottle for the topping up portion. However, after I got the carboy filled, I realized I had enough left over to fill a larger bottle. So, I grabbed a bottle from my collection of previously washed in Oxy and rinsed bottles, and I stupidly just started filling it up. I realized about halfway through what I had done, and figured the damage was already done, so I just filled it up. I still had enough extra to fill up one of my small (and sanitized) topping up bottles, so all is not lost.
Now, the question is, will the wine in the unsanitized bottle be OK to use in topping up, or should I just toss it out? Can it be saved now by adding a campden tablet? It is still fermenting. The SG was 1.010 yesterday morning.
