Hi all, I've read where this happens with apple wine.
Nov 22 - SG 1056
Nov 26 - 1004 - racked to secondary
Nov 29 - 1002
Dec 4 - 1002 - must be done, added kmeta & sorbate, degassed with vacuum
Dec 6 - 1002 - simmered 500ml apple juice and added 1 c sugar - added to wine
Dec 20 - small bubbles rising - degassed again
Dec 28 - 1006
Jan 8 - 1004
So it's dropping slowly.
I probably should've waited for it to go below 1002, but where it stayed the same for 6 days, I figured it was done. So when this finishes again, should I add more sorbate? Rack it off the sediment and wait a week or so before sweetening again? Thanks for any help.
