I have 2x 15 litre demi johns of apple wine that have ceased fermenting, its actually been about 4 months its ceased... Ive racked it twice in the course of fermentation, on the second racking there was absolutely no way of getting rid of any more sediment. anyways,
I was wondering if the fact that they have been sitting there for a few months with an airlock on them, meant I could bottle them now...on the recipie it said rack 3 times, with one month interval between each...(as I said earlier there was no need for the 3rd) I mean could it be too LATE to bottle them? And I read that the colour of the bottles doesnt affect anything, as long as they are kept in the dark, so I'll use transparent ones, to apreciate the colour. can I reuse corks from bought red wine if I clean and then sterilise them? maybe that would spoil the taste a little.
