Was it you doing the secondary fermentation, or a natural thing that particular mix did if left to its own devices.Rose Hip kept doing this secondary fermentation and it gave it a 'smoothness'.
I was the raffle bloke at a monthly club meeting (CB thing) and used to pop the odd bottle in.
I got a call one Mon evening (Sunday meeting) asking if I had any more and if so would I sell
It was malolactic fermentation...
It had been lying untouched and although a favourite, we hadn't popped a cork, immediately we did and boy, it was smooth.
I kept them a bottle and tanked the rest between us, I'd made three demijohns worth..
It was left in our back room in a big bucket with a towel over it to go through the process and it guffed, three weeks before fining it out then bottled.
Nah, but it looks like plenty is being dumped away to the west of us
Your bottles a much sought after prize then.
Did you?
You'd bottled it and somehow managed to forget you had it!
How long did you keep it in the demijohn, as a rule, before bottling.
But with the wind from the west, won't it reach you.
