hey guys I have my apple cider nearly done fermenting and this is actually my first batch! I also have made a grape wine and I am excited and would like it to taste pretty good as well.
But now im debateing on whether to add in some pottasium sorbate to hinder the fermentation. What do you all think of Pottasium sorbate ? is it worth adding in a little , will it affect the taste? My apple cider was racked to secondary at SG 1.005 so I think that means its going to be pretty dry when its all done. and my grape wine was racked at 1.015 so it should be a bit sweeter.
I have some wine and whisky jugs and of course sanitized them, and I would like to use them if they will be okay. But iv heard others saying to use champange or beer bottles. But i dont have champagne bottles and dont really want to spend money on buying them, and beer bottles would be pretty small and then you would have to buy caps too.
