halfa barrel of rosé left- do I bottle it?

Post by FarmerFred » Mon May 19, 2014 9:19 pm

Hello,
Had a party at the weekend and half a barrel of rosé and half a barrel of beer were left over. Would it be best to bottle the rosé and/or the beer to stop from spoiling? I've had to twist the lids on the pressure barrels to get them to flow. I don't have a co2 cap as I usually use bottles and tend to finish barrels at parties! Cheers.

It sounds like you let air get to the wine, so I doubt if it'll keep long now no matter what you do with it.

My advice is have another party, quick! :wink:

I'm still not quite cover the last one! Perhaps I won't decant into bottles as the night progresses and just leave the entire barrel on the table! Was worried about things escalating too fast ;)
