Hi all,
Been lurking and reading a couple of days.
Started my first 2 batches ever about 2+ months ago.
1 Rhubarb and 1 banana (sounded cool)
The banana is crystal clear. The rhubarb still seems cloudy.
The rhubarb seemed to go crazy in the primary. It was a slow starter, then BOOM. It went to 1.000 SG in about 2 days after the activity started. Could that be why it is not clearing?
On the other, the banana, as it is so clear, is there any reason not to bottle it in a week or so? I have read a lot about bulk aging, but if I choose to bottle it, is 2.5 months too soon? If so why?
I am loving this hobby, but it has become kind of an obsession!Aside from my first 2, I have a riesling kit in the secondary, a strawberry JUST started, a raspberry just started, and a merlot kit on deck... all this before waiting to see if my first ones are even safe to drink!
Patience...I want it NOW!
