Hey guy I some questions.
Im very new to wine making.
I fermented some blackberries.
7 days later I noticed it is starting to make small bubbles from the bottom constantly.
On the very bottom there is about 1/4 inch layer of what appears to be sugar.
3-4 inches of what appears to be a peach/pink liquid/wine and about 1-2 inches of blackberries mixed in bubbles/foam at the top.
This is the first day I smelled it and I can tell it smells very alcoholic.
my questions are
1. how would I go about extracting the middle clearer portion
2. Will it get clearer then do I extract it?
3. or do I just pour it all through a mesh strainer and cheese cloth like it is?
4. After I strain it and put into a bottle how long do I let it age before drinking?
thank you guys. Great forum.
