Ok so its been about a year since i made my last batch of wine....in total ive only made like 3 5gallon batches so i am a definite rookie.
i started my apple wine in the primary 3 weeks ago and it has been a bubblin brew. well today i planned on racking. i took a hydro reading and it is reading .99 from a starting 1.098....i planned on racking around 1.025 but i missed that. i will let in set in the carboy until next weekend (1 week) and check again. if its the same should i go ahead and add my potassium sorbate and stabalize it? i will degas it at this time too.
if so i do plan on racking it a couple more times to get out some of the sediment. how long should i wait after stabalizing to rack again??
thx
