Hi brewers,
I bottled 4 bottles of elderflower wine a couple of weeks ago. The
unbottled portion I drunk was very sharp and am I going to back sweeten.
I have a 70cl bottle of raspberry Monin syrup. My plan was to open the
bottles of wine, siphon them into a demijohn, add a few glugs of the
syrup and taste. Can I just swish the demijohn round to mix, and then
pour a bit straight into a glass to taste, or will this add too much
oxygen to the wine?
The plan was to repeat this until it tastes good, add campden,
fermentation stopper (potassium sorbate), and airlock and leave until I
am happy it is ready to bottle.
Does this sound okay?
