I am a NooB to wine making and followed the directions exactly and then I had a brain fart.
My wine was ready to be bottled and I was going to move it back from the carboy to the primary fermenter for easier bottling.
The wine was clear and I decided to make it a little sweeter by adding a product that is basically a sugar syrup with stablilzer (to prevent further fermentation).
I then stirred the wine in the carboy to mix in the syrup and proceeded to move it into the primary fermenter.
Needless to say, the wine is not clear anymore.
Did I screw up the whole batch or do I need to just wait a week or so to let it settle again?
Will it ever clear up again?
Do I need to move it back into the carboy?
