What you guys do with left over after racking?

[geek]

Just racked my Cab Sav after finalizing MLF, kmeta and sorbate to stabilize.
With the left overs I filled a 750ml bottle but then I have another 750ml bottle 3/4 full.

I guess we just go at it and DRINK it...

The technical term for that last partial 750 ml bottle is "QA sample" and that is what I do with it!

My family makes fun of me. But I refuse to throw it out! Drink up! Bakervinyard

 

[WineCaveBill]

I drink it. Throwing it out is alcohol abuse!

You shoulda figured no sympathy from these guys. Looks like it is unamimous. Cheers. Arne.

As Rocky said, the QA sample is what it is known as. In the name of science and all that is holy to winemaking, it should be tested.

Yes you should drink... Er sample it in a good quantity. Here is you chance to note (I mean write down) the the bouquet and flavors so you can critique it as the wine ages. This information I often add to the notes I make during the tasting at bottling.
