I bottled a WE chilean merlot after racking on two separate occasions once from primary to carboy
with everything still in as per instructions then before I bottled i racked into another carboy off the lees. Did not filter as never have with previous five kits. Now a problem. I held the bottles up to light as I was placing on their sides three days after bottling and I notice quite a bit of the lees in the bottles. Should I open all bottles and put into a carboy and re clear or just run the wine through some cheesecloth each time I open a bottle?
