Again, sorry for all the questions. I'd have put them all in one post, but I din't know more were going to come up.
So, I like quite a lot of citric in my elderflower wine. I just read that you should wait until after primary fermentation is complete, or the yeast converts it to acetic acid.
Then, on another site, I read that you have to add it when you pitch the yeast or you shock the yeast.
Obviously, I can't do both at the same time!
Maybe if I add a little each day after primary is complete? But then, since I haven't read anything about people doing that, I guess nobody needs to. So one of the two things I read must be wrong. If it were a choice between "Turns to vinegar" or "Kills the yeast" nobody would add it at all.
