as i'm learning, racking has become my nemesis.
i'm pretty sure i need to look into an auto siphon. i hate leaving that little bit of wine behind. there is always about an inch that looks sooo good!
so this is what i've done recently. when i racked my peach and blueberry and placed them in the aging closet, i couldn't part with that little bit left, so i sucked up that good along with the sediment you know i couldn't help but get. i put this in a seperate jug and let it sit to clear. of course there is a ton of sediment, but i've gotten four bottles off that combination! i just sweetened it this morning and it's good!
anyone else ever done this?
