Grabbed a hour from the day today to rack the Parsnip and Elderberry wines. Fermentation has slowed down on both of the wines now with just the odd bubble now and again. Racked both the wines on top of 1 tsp of bentonite mixed into 1/4 of a pint of hot water that was allowed to cool for 30 minutes.
I add this direct to the clean demijohn and then rack the wine straight on top. Both these wines will now sit in the warm for another few weeks just to make sure they have finished fermenting. Once they are a bit clearer, I'll hit them both with a campden tablet each, slosh them both back up and them move to a cool place to fully clear before getting ready to bottle them both.
