How to get rid off the sediment

[Kivanc]

Hi,

I found that it has been formed a huge sediment in my cherry wine. What would I do? Should I get rid off this sediment?

 

[Stressbaby]

Is that bottled? How long from ferment to bottle?

 

[dcbrown73]

Damn, is that half a bottle of sediment?

interesting label

I'm really hoping that's a joke........

 

[cmsben61]

you bet it is

Is this a recycled bottle with an old label or just a poor quality commercial wine well past it's prime?

 

[Kivanc]

It is half a bottle of sediment. It's bottled and it's 6 months old. This is a recycled bottle. I thought that I've squeezed out a substantial amount of pulp. On the other hand, it has got a substantial amount of alcohol: I had 12 bottles of cherry wine. I already consumed 10 bottles.

1. open bottle
2. insert straw half way into bottle
3. suck through straw
4. consume alcohol
5.understand patience next time before bottling

Was there that much stuff floating in there when you first bottled it?

Put it in the fridge for a week, cork facing up. Let it settle, carefully open the bottle and poor the good stuff out and drink it.

Great advice above.

How long did you wait before bottling? For that much to fall out of the wine would mean the wine had to either be very cloudy or some sort of chemical reaction took place to precipitate that much in one bottle.

No, there wasn't much stuff floating in the bottles when I first bottled them. But I must say that my bottled wines were cloudy.

I immediately bottled the wine when the fermentation is finished. Two of my bottles have the same amount of sediments.

 

[Kivanc]

I immediately bottled right after the fermentation is finished.

Do I take that to say you didn't degas, clear, and stabilize?

Seems like in haste I forgot the very essential facts.

I would simply use a decanter.

I'm a little worried that you've had a re-ferment. But you'd probably have corks blowing out of bottles by now.
