Is it still actively fermenting? If so, make sure you have it in a container with enough head space so it doesn’t bubble out (a bucket, not a carboy). Other than that, you’re fine. You’ll just need to rack it again after more of the yeast has settled out. Always do your final rack into a carboy so you can see through the glass to make sure the wine is nice and clear before bottling.
it may end up rotting.. not finishing fermenting or get contaminated while finishing which will end up with sour wine or a low gravity wine.
now that you’ve racked it… leave it alone.. expect mishaps just in case…
check them bottles daily or bi daily…. to see if any explosions have happened where the process of the fermentation has popped out the corks if they’re weak.
just leave it sit racked extra long period than usual……
don’t disturb it, treat it like it’s still fermenting a few more weeks… IF that..
then examine one bottle if you must to see after this period of time how the fermentation has handled in such a small space… if it looks good…
try it out… you may have to clear the wine a bit from the bottle and put it into a decanter.
it’s not trashed… give it a few, give it more of a chance.. though next time wait til it’s done it business, it’ll be much less hassle.
though i know some who like to rack early because it’s a ‘thing’ for them.. makes the wine different and more ’special’ though for myself i don’t agree.
if you have to disturb any bottles.. just one! and make the assumptions this bottle will be the representation of the others.. keep them bottles in a dry, mild enviroment with no light.
:D
course you knew that already.
now if you racked it into another unit.. from fermenter to another fermentor or carboy… just leave it sit, seal it up or if you can’t… finish the racking completely by bottling it… and sealing the bottles.. cork them… that does work also… trust me i know… :D
just make sure where ever your wine is.. it’s sealed from air and is in a dry, dark place…. it can restart and finish fermenting if all is well… some do this…. it’s called clearing.. some clear and rerack into another fermentor….
some wait for clearing after all is done….
the wine is only bad, if all hope is lost…. just make sure everything that touches that wine is sterile.
Don’t Worry,You’re Fine.Early racking won’t hurt anything,but will create more sediment.Just rack again in 2-3 weeks and it will probably turn out even better.I’ve racked some wines 4 times before bottling and it just clears the wine and improves the flavor.GOOD LUCK.
