I have 5 gallons of mustang grape wine going now, ive racked it once, and now its settling out for a second time. I want to rack again and stabilize. I ordered an Accuvin test so I could see if my sulfite levels were OK. Before and after the test, I couldnt register any change in color...REALLY hate these kinds of tests. Anyway, if its right, it says its at 18ppm. I used the green cap one. Anyway, aside from that, I have no clue how much sulfite is in it except that I put in 5 sodium metabisulfite tablets in during primary fermentation.
Should I add more and if so, how much? No interested in redoing the test, and I have no idea if its right or not, but its far too expensive for me to do again for the same results.
So, im really more interested in a rule of thumb. Its been in the secondary since 7/23/2012. Its been racked since then, but I must have forgotten to log it, so I dont remember when...maybe a month ago.
I put in 5 campden tablets at the start...package says Campden (SMS)...1 tablet = 150ppm total SO2.
I want to use KMS now...it says 550mg active potassium metabisulfite.
Need some help here...how much do I use of these?
