Clearing agents, okay that makes sense. The instructions say to add one of them first then the other just like the Orchard Breezin. Basically the same size on the F-Pacs maybe a little more in the Summer Breeze.

Hopefully this is considered a related question, not trying to hi-jack the thread. I racked yesterday from the secondary to another carboy and added 1/4 teaspoon of K-Meta and 5 - 1/2 teaspoons of sorbate (5 gallon batch). I degassed, topped off with a "like" wine and plan to back-sweeten in 3...
