I just racked my elderberry wine into the second carboy....I always taste at racking. Seemed a little watery to me at this tasting...I know it's early and it will change, but is there anything I can do at this point?
3gal batch
started with 15 cups of elderberries in nylon straining bag
poured 2 gal. of boiling water over them in the primary(let sit for 4 hours)
boiled one overripe banana in 1 pint of water and strained into must
added enough water to make 4 gal.
added pectic enzyme,acid blend, and campden tabs(let sit for 24 hrs)
added yeast(montrechet) and yeast nutrient
left in the primary for 10 days
racked into 1st carboy...fermentation was excellent
waited till fermentation stopped...about 20 days
then racked off the lees into #2 carboy...
this is when I taste,
any thoughts?
