First - This Forum has been a great resource for me - a beginner. I've made a few mistakes along the way but have been so far I've been able to salvage my first kit (A Liebfraumilch) and made it to bottling one week ago.
At bottling I did some tasting and things tasted pretty good.
Now, a week after bottling I tasted again. I have slightly carbonated wine with a slight sulfury smell.
I did stabilize w/ sorbate and added K-meta at bottling so I'm thinking I didn't degas enough. (It was a little cool when I bottled but I don't have the temp. - probably around 60 F).
I'm thinking I'll uncork, pour into a carboy, stir to degas, then rebottle. I know this sounds like a lot of work but that's ok w/ me if it will help the situation.
Any advice on whether this will solve the problems or is there another course of action someone could recommend?
Thank you in advance!!
