If you will be making more and more wine, I believe purchasing powdered KMeta is more economical.

Can’t answer your question but it will behoove you to top off that jug/Carboy. Far too much headspace there imo

Closing the lid under airlock

Typically on day three I would add another dose of yeast nutrient, punch down for another day then snap the lid. SG is already at .998...

Is temperature a factor once you snap the lid under airlock?

As long as the PH is below 3.0, it’s viable.

When I get that type of message I changed from my PO Box to my street address and they can then ship it.

Interchanging those words drives me crazy.

Let's correct a misunderstanding. Star San does not sterilize. It sanitizes. Use a k-meta solution.

That’s been my experience whenever I did an EM.

From reading the posts of the folks doing longer EM, mold is not a problem.

Are you saying the skins are susceptible to mold even under a snapped lid and airlock?

Now that I think of it, I should have held off on the nutrient.

It did thanks. My starter protocol is the same as what you described. This morning the wine had a vigorous fermentation going.

Thank you sir.
