hello brewers of all things fizzy, am abit embarassed about the situation am in but id kindly ask for your help if you dont mind,
anyway, i brewed a wilkos dry red 30 bottle kit in 23l bucket, using 3.5kg of brewing sugar as suggested, fermentation i gave 7 days as the froth on the top had disapeared by the 7th day (my logic). put in the stabiliser and finnings and cleared for a week, didnt have a syphon went to get one from wilkos but they didnt have any, and didnt for some time.
so after clearing, me, like a nutter, just dipped a clean cup into the bucket and poured that into my wine glass. after having several bottles drank this way, the brew had started to froth up quite abit on the surface and has been like that for about a week, attached is a picture taken today.
i know i was totally dumb and wont do it again, but can the wine be rescued do you know ? would like to get my moneys worth if i can (safely)... all help appreciatted and sorry for babbling on..
p.s. can hear a faint crackling sound coming from the bucket
