I treated my wine with reduless and it helped. I did it again but went past the 72 hour mark before racking so it didn't help much (I assume). can I treat a third time??

I presume you're treating a H2S problem. The protocol for Reduless is that if you didn't catch this soon enough so that the Reduless did not work, then you are to go to copper sulfate. But when you order the copper sulfate, you should order the copper sulfate bench trial kit along with it. You test the wine to find out the dose of the copper sulfate.
But you shouldn't use the reduless over and over again. Use it once---if the H2S remains, then it's time for testing and the use of copper sulfate.
Yes, this is a Lodi Zin from grapes that I used RC212 and did not provide enough nutrient evidently.
prevention is better than the cure , why did you get h2s in the first place?
nutrient issue? fussy yeast like montrachet? too long on the gross lees?
try d254 . it will give your cidre better mouthfeel , body and aromatics .
apples and pears are low in nitorgen and high in malic acid. a fussy yeast like montrachet will hate that.
a complex nutirent is essential with cidre and meed , fermaid K would be my first choice , 1 gram per gallon
