I was really hoping my batch of DB was going to be ready for our party the 4th. After spending about a week hung up at 1.2 this morning it was at 1.1. I set the fermenter out in the sun today, knowing it is going to be warm the next few days in the NW.
Lets say I plan to proceed towards bottling before I get down to 1.0. I want to bottle it Wednesday so I will have it ready on Thursday to drink. I will need to hit it with Sparkloid no later than Tuesday to get it cleared, meaning I could K meta it on Monday. I know it is kind of rushing things, and with the warmth in the 80's to 90's the next few days the yeast might get happy and quit working like a union member and get to 1.0
Any down sides to K meta stopping the process before I get to 1.0?
I have not done a lot of wine making. I beleive the Kmeta kills the yeast stopping the alcohol content from getting any higher and not using up all the available sugars in the batch. Seems if I rushed things a bit not getting to 1.0, I wouldnt have to backsweeten as much in pure simple terms???
Thoughts appreciated
