On 8/5 , I started my 6gal batch of wine , and added 6 campdens.On 11/20 , Transfered off the lees , and added 3 campdens, sorbate , and sweetened.On 1/20 , transfered again and added 2 campdens , and a pak of superclear.The wine has finally cleared , and ready to bottle , so should I add any additional campdens at or before bottling ?
 
Without knowing more about the wine or you having any tests, it is just a stab in the dark, but I would not think you need any more at this point.
 
The wine is a Mustang Grape , which is a native grapeof Texas. I don't know what test you are referring to , but the starting acidity was at 0.8% , and it finished out at 0.10%The starting SG @ 1.090 , and finished SG @ .990
 
Thanks Appleman , but I do not have any ways to do these test.
I will just go with your first answer , and will not add any at bottling.
