I transferred a couple of wines last night from primary to carboys. 6 Gallons of blueberry and 1 gallon of Bing Cherry. I combined what was left in the two primary buckets into a Carlo Rossi 3 liter jug for later topping-up, so mostly blueberry and a little cherry. Now the question:
Some of the blueberries got loose from the straining bag when I was crushing. No big deal for Primary fermentation, but some made their way into the Carlo Rossi jug (a handful). This jug may sit for a month until next racking when I need it for topping-up. Is it ok to leave the berries in there, or should I rack to another jug?
I've been doing this for over a year now, and still have such newbie questions!
