Hi guys,
I am completely new to making wine and have been following some recipes for country wines from the brew it yourself book. I have some lemon and lime wine that has been in demijohn for 3 months(transfering off lees twice) and is 1.010 don't know what OG was but used 1.4kg of sugar.i also have some.blackberry wine (3 months in demijohns) that has got to 0.990 again no OG. The recipe says to bottle both after this period of time.
I have tried this but the plastic corks keep popping out. So I tried to degass with a homemade wand. But despite whizzing back and forth for days and days there is still gas and the corks still pop out. Can anyone help?should I be using some stabalizer or something.
Please help
Cheers
Jim
