I have a really stupid question...
I am making a gallon of wild blueberry wine. This is my first attempt at making a fruit wine. I don't normally drink non-grape wines but I was given some wild blueberrys and thought it would be fun to try. The recipe I used was for a fuller bodied wine if that makes a difference... I don't know how to serve it. The must is a deep red. Do I chill it or not? I should also add that I have only been making wine since March, so I don't know a lot to begin with.
I actually have another question...when bulk aging do you use an airlock or not? I haven't been because I figure the fermentation is done. Am I correct in thinking this? Along those same lines I have a gallon of dandelion wine that is in the secondary and has been racked once. I am using a bung with an airlock because don't have a solid one. Am I going to wreck the wine?
Thanks for the help.
