2006 Vidal Icewine, Neufeld -- First racking
Fermentation is complete, and it's had a couple weeks in zero-degree weather to settle, so I racked it today.
I racked the wine from the 23L fermentation carboy to a 18.9 carboy that I'll use for aging. There was 1L of juice left over, which went in a handle Milk jar that I use.
I added 50ppm SO2 (17.5ml) into the bottom of the smaller carboy before racking the wine into it.
Once the wine was racked, I noticed some bubbles pushing through the airlock, I imagine this is from left-over carbonation, although I imagine a few yeast cells are still going at it. To be sure and surpress any live yeast, I put the carboy back out into the cold.
