First time brewer here: I just bottled sparkling rose, into regular wine bottles.... I filled 3/4 hoping it will work. I didn't realize bottle types mattered until during bottling process. Any advice on re-bottling in a couple days when I can have champagne bottles delivered?

@TheBruSho 3 жыл бұрын

Hey! Well unfortunately I think the only way to re bottle is to uncork them and carefully transfer them into the champagne bottles, If you have an open bottling bucket you can pour them all into that and then bottle from there. I don't think you are in any danger to keep them in their current bottles for a few day but as soon as you can get them over to champagne bottles its best so you don't have any exploding bottles!

@CraftierJulie 3 ай бұрын

We use the same yeast for our white wines but we let them go dry. So they are normally about 14-15% with a final gravity of below 1.000 when they are done. At that ABV do you need to add more yeast as well as the priming sugar to bottle condition? I'm afraid there won't be enough yeast left for the secondary fermentation.

No carbonation is a natural process of fermentation! If you wanted still wine you would need to degas it so all those bubbles go away. But if you want sparkling you just do what I did in this video to make it more bubbly. If you did nothing it might be slightly effervescent but not fully sparkling.

@veenaxettigar 2 жыл бұрын

Before bottling I usually add preservatives(Metasulphite and sorbate) so that yeast dnt activate again or it isn't spoiled due to various reasons just incase. But here it's directly bottled with extra sugar. I M scared to do that.... I mean wine getting spoiled or yeast getting orveractivating... Please guide... thanks...

@TheBruSho 2 жыл бұрын

Adding stabilizers like that inhibit yeast activity and leave you with a still (not sparkling wine). By adding more sugar you are priming the yeast to ferment again in the bottle to force carbonate it and make it fizzy. This is common practice in champagne or other natural sparkling wines. The key is to not add too much sugar so it explodes, so always refer to a priming calculator. Also it shouldn’t spoil too quickly since there is alcohol present. But this is meant more to drink young and not store long term

@TheBruSho, I just finished working at a meadery and picked up a useful tip from the mead maker. If you want to freeze the neck of your bottles, just use rock salt and ice. Make sure to pre-chill the bottles first and only immerse about an inch of the neck into the ice, as breakage can easily happen. I'd love to see you demonstrate this process on your channel! I believe many home brewers could benefit from this technique to reduce yeast in their brews, especially since there aren’t many resources available for mead. Good luck with your channel, and thanks for all the great content! (ThankS for responding BTW!!))

I can’t say that there’s tartaric acid since I didn’t add any, unless it’s already present in the grape juice. But when you bottle condition there will be yeast that settles out at the bottom of the bottle. But just pour carefully and dump that last bit to avoid yeasty pours.
