I have a WinExpert Lodi Ranch 11 Cabernet Sauvignon that I wanted to take my time with on an extended schedule. I thought I was in a bulk-aging stage...
I went to check on it as it had been a couple months since my last action (Mid-November) and in looking at my notes I realize I never added the K-meta/sorbate.
Now, it has been topped up this whole time under airlock and does not taste off or anything. But almost 70 days in what was technically still a secondary fermentation has me concerned.
Did I do any damage?
Should I just stabilize now and let it go back to bulk aging awhile or take some alternative actions at this point?
Thanks!
