I am about to bottle my first wine kit. I woke up yesterday to find the bung on the kitchen floor I thought that It may have been that way for 12 hours. I washed the bun g and put it back into the carboy. As I was working in my kitchen a few hours later the bung just flew off of the carboy and landed on the floor. Thinking gas? But I bought this gadget from the wine store called a wine whip and it fits into your drill. You put the whip into the wine and turn on the drill . For four minutes. Then I stabilized the wine and put a bung on it. Waited ten days and tasted it . I was sure I put the bung back on and it looks like I may well have done that. So my question is
:first did I ruin my wine by leaving it exposed to the air for anywhere between one and twelve hours? Can I fix it?
: secondly, what do you think about degassing?
This is my very first batch.
