Too much Water 200

Hi, Could you give us some more information, like type of wine, or a wine kit, how old is the wine, and original batch size...? I'm sure you did the best you could at racking. Its hard to say without knowing a bit more. Wine kits (have directions which should be followed) are treated differently than making homemade wine at home. Most of us who make wine at home, try to add a bit more water in the beginning so we have a bit of top-up for later on. There are some ways to get more top-up; such as putting what's left in your carboy (after racking) in a container in the fridge (cover) and letting it sit. The good wine will come to the top in a few days. The typical ways of making sure your carboy stays topped-up after racking are to add water, add a similar type of wine, or add marbles to increase the volume. Others will tell you to start collecting different sizes of containers to accommodate batches without adding water. Is your batch okay...probably. I added water to top-up in the beginning, and my batches came out fine. Now I've learned to make enough to top up. Some wines have more sediment than others - cranberry wine has a ton of sediment, but this is something you'll pick up over time. Darlene Wisconsin
