Hello lovely people, Amanda here again.
This is a bit of a long story! I will keep as succinct as I can.
In the UK access to wine making chemicals is only on a commercial scale. This year I wanted to try doing a Malolactic fermentation, so I bought Biostart Forte SK2.
Thing is - the 20g sachet is for 1000 litres of wine, and I have 20 litres!!!! I have done the math and I need to put in 0.4g in 4ml of water to get (according to the product page http://erbsloeh.com/product_datasheets/en/PMB_BioStartForteSK2_GB_001.pdf ) excellent start conditions.
These numbers are just silly!!!! Aren't they?
Can I just use more or can I overdose?
What more do you need to know? Red wine, 20 litres, under bubblers, still on gross lees, no sulphite added, finished primary, in secondary.
Hope you can help!
Amanda
