Use what posted on the label. I would also go according to your taste for tannin. It's a personal thing. Remember you are making wine for yourself to your taste.

Usually it's 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per gallon. Ere on the lighter side as taking tannin out is difficult. Where did you get your recipe? We have many here on our home page under recipes. Check them out and compare.

i got it here, it called for 1.5 tsp of liquid for the 5 gallon mix. The dry powder does not have directions for the amount to add

Default How was amount of tannin powder?

How did the tannin come out? I'm reading up, and it looks like a guess for my Cab Sav is 2 tsp / 5 gal. Thanks
Dave
