I have just started making wine at home after having used WineKitz for a couple of years. I recently retired so figured I have lots of time to enjoy the hobby more if I do everything myself.
Unfortunately I think I have a major problem with my first two batches that are currently sitting in the primary fermentors. I was told that to make a sanitizing solution I should use 1 teaspoon of potassium metabisulphite in one gallon of water so this is what I used to sanitize my equipment and the primary fermentors before starting a batch of red and a batch of white wine.
I just today found this website which makes it quite clear that my sanitizing solution is woefully weak so I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can save these wines from ruin.
Thanks
Terry
