The demijohns have been blurping away nicely the past weeks, and now they have calmed down a bit. Over the first weeks they bubbled constantly, and you could see the liquid in the flasks buzzing and swirling. Now the plumwine seems to have come to a stop, while the elderberry port bubbles on very slowly. It is interesting to see how the colours of the brews have changed over time. My pictures are a poor approach of reality and do not quite show this, but especially the plum wine has changed colour from a dark purple to a nice orange. It`ll continue to become lighter as it clears over time I assume. I am not entirely certain on how to proceed with the wine, because I thought the fermenting would not stop this quick. I suppose I`ll rack it, clean the flask and put it back in there for some weeks. Then I`ll rack and bottle. For the port I`ll just wait a week or two after it stopped bubbling and then I`ll rack and bottle.
