Is it ok to bottle the wine if the bottle is wet with k-meta sulfite or preferred to let it dry first?
So am I the only one that rinses the bottles wih water after the k-meta rinse?
I feel that if I rinse I can better control how much k-meta is in the wine. That way when you do open your bottles your first glass or two of wine doesn't have a blast of k-meta on the nose
TonyP said:Maybe. Some wine makers, including me, are sufficiently concerned about microbes in tap water that we don't rinse, except perhaps with bottled water.
Also, I believe it's common to add some k-meta during bottling anyway. I do, when the wine hasn't been treated for several months.
On my next bottling I will put the corks in a strainer and pour kmeta solution through it.
I don't use K-Meta. I use the iodine based product for sterilizing and so far I have not had a negative reaction in taste or smell. I can't remember the name at the present time but I am sure most of you know what I am talking about. Just came to me. Star San
