How to Rack Off Wine by Brewbitz Homebrew Shop

Regularly you are told to rack off your wine when making homebrew. In this short video we explain how and why to rack off your wine (or beer, lager, cider) to get it ready for bottling. Racking is a necessary process, when the yeast are turning the sugar to alcohol, they create some byproducts that you don't want - think of it as poo :) - we call it lees. If the wine sits on the lees for too long it can pick up off flavours, so it's important to remove the wine off the sediment at the end of fermentation. This helps the wine to finish fermenting and also helps the wine clear. If you are in the UK and need any ingredients, then please support our website and buy your brewing ingredients and brewing equipment from us at http://www.brewbitz.com You will need: Wine already in a Demi-John that has finished fermenting. Steriliser 2nd Demi-John Syphon Once the initial fermentation has completed and the yeast have turned most of the sugar to alcohol, then it's time to rack it off into a demi-john. This helps protect the wine from infection and allows the wine to ferment to dryness. This is where the yeast carry on and eat other compounds on the wine and start the conditioning process. Once the fermentation is fully complete, then it's time to rack off into a clean sterilised demi-john and add a campden tablet or Potassium Sorbate (stabiliser / fermentation stopper) as this kills off any remaining yeast and prepares the wine for clearing. During the clearing process, some wines can create a lot of sediment and so it may be necessary to rack off a couple of times. Once clear, siphon the wine into a new clean sterile demijohn or bucket and then bottle.
