So a couple of days ago I racked the Elderberry, the 2nd run pyment, and the grape part deux into gallon jugs and some aging. After doing this for all three I ended up with alot of extra wine and not enough airlocks to put the remaining into bottles for topping up later. So in a moment of madness I just dumped all the wines into a bucket...the pyment and the elderberry went in with the grape part deux. I popped a bit of sanitized towel into the hole and decided to see what happened.
I checked on the wine this morning and saw a layer of yeast on top. It was a yeast steel cage match and I'm not sure which one won. All of the wines had a different yeast: EC-1118, Montrachet, and Red Pastuer.
I'm planning on racking it into a carboy and taking the airlock on the braggot and capping the braggot with a solid cap until I move it or bottle it.
