Finally got to bottling my Pinot Grigio. Got the first dozen bottles out and
then everthing fell apart. Lost the siphon on my racking cane because I
didn't close it up properly. The air came up through the hose and cane
and disturbed the lees. I thought I could get it reset without too much
disturbance, and in my haste, clumsiness etc managed to drop the
racking cane onto the lees.
So... I have 12 decent bottles and problem. I have air in the carboy now
but I can't really bottle the rest as cloudy as it now is.
I'm thinking that what I should do is leave the remainder for 24 hours
closed up for the lees to settle again and try to bottle the rest tomorrow.
I don't think I can leave it any longer than that because of oxidation and I
have another kit waiting to get into the carboy.
Any help or advice will be gratefuly received.
