Like many in this forum, I have just started the wine making journey. I am working with a one gallon kit right now. I know many have said go bigger, but for many reasons, I am quite happy, and excited to start with the 1 gallon kits.
I have just started primary fermentation on my kit and it looks to be doing a great job.
My questions are around bulk aging, adding K meta, and measuring sulphites. As I understand from many on this forum, (thank you for posting answers!) that once the kit says to go into the bottle, you put into a clean carboy. air locklet sit for three months. Also during this time you add more k meta to the wine. However, here it seems that there is a difference of opinion. Some say add a set amount (.25 tsp per 5 gal) others say to measure. Does it matter which route to take? If I bulk age in oak does that change things?
Anyway, thoughts and recommendations are appreciated. Thank you to all who take the time to respond.
