Bottling and Testing Wine

The new chitosan had made a massive difference to the Sadlers Sav, so I racked it in to clean demijohns.  I then thought it would be good to bottle some up.  I duly did this, bottling the blend of the Sadlers Sav and Conniseur Pinot Gris.  At the same time I realised that the Rice and Raisin was not going to get drunk, sitting in the demijohn, and as it is supposed to be drunk relatively young, I bottled that as well.

The rice and raisin is OK, but has the homebrew tang that I don’t like “up front” before settling down a little on the palette.  I sort of quite like it, but I am not sure I would offer it to friends (though I did give a bottle to my home brewing sister-in-law, together with warnings!).
