Hi All!
So I have some 2013 Amarone which I am about to bottle but wanted to make sure the free SO2 was at the right level before bottling. The pH is 3.3 and the first result after running the AO was 3 ppm free SO2. I ran the calculation to achieve a 26ppm level and added the appropriate amount of meta, .8 grams. Waited 2 days and tested again, next result was around 6.4 ppm. Added more so2 according to the calculation waited another coulple days and tested again. The free SO2 now is at 13.6 ppm. I am concerned that my results are not accurate and will over sulfite my wine. Does anyone have any experience with this type of issue? Thanks!
