I have have some welches wine sitting in a carboy at 0.990 for 4-5 months now and I want to get it into bottles so it can be enjoyed this summer but the backsweetening timing is unclear to me.
If I were to rack to a new carboy could I add the sorbate and k-meta then immidiately start adding more welches concentrate to backsweeten or do I have to wait for those chemicals to "kick in" before the wine is stable enough to add the sugar?
I ask because I dont really have any other wine like this to top off after racking - by backsweetning immidiately the new grape concentrate should eliminate the need to top off I hope.
