I mis calculated and added 50 grams too much so2 at the crush. It should have been 27 grams and I added 70..
I did 18 cases of Sangiovese and 5 cases of Old Vine Zifendal. Approximately 270 to 300 liters of must..
I activated BM45 yeast with Go Ferm. Then added about 1 cup of grape must to yeast let sit until the yeast and the must were in 10 degree temperature and then pitched the yeast. The yeast took off nice with added grape must prior to pitching, but my gut kept telling me I added to much so2.
I pitched the yeast yesterday.. Today I went to re calculate the numbers and realized I screwed up big.. I also added the so2 1 day prior to pitching the yeast
Any suggestions ????
