IHi Guys,
I have a 15 gallon demi John from last year. I dont have any tools to measure the sulfite levels. Is it ok to add 3/4 teaspoon at this time. I never added any before
I racked the wine prior to innoculating with Bacteria Culture.
Do you rack the wine again after Malolactic has completed?
Also, How much sulfite do you add per 54 liter carboy?
I crushed my grapes at an SG 1.025 and transferred to secondary 2 weeks ago. The demi John has not been topped up since.
Im waiting for Optimalo to arrive in the mail so I can add with Malolactic culture.
Am I damaging the wining by keeping it untopped all this time?
FYI - I have not...
Well,
I have been making wine for 6 years now and everytime I have a glass of homemade wine at 14% alchohol (brix 25), i taste the alchohol more than the wine.
Maybe its something that im doing wrong?
Hi,
What is the minimum amount of Oak powder recommended for 550 liters of crushed grapes?
Add before, during or after yeast?
I don't want to taste oak more than the wine.
Hi,
From my understanding, this should be added in doses.
1 - first sign of fermantation
2 - 1/3 of sugar has dropped (8-10 brix)
My hydrometer only has SG readings.
What should the SG reading be after 1/3 of sugar has dropped?
