I apologize for starting yet another bulk aging thread, but I couldn't easily find the answer to my question. I've made about half a dozen wine batches by now, but I have bottle aged them all. I'm starting an Eclipse Merlot kit with grape skins and I figure I may bulk age this one.
My question is simple - should I add the clarifying agent? Or should I just leave it after adding sorbate and k-meta and let gravity take care of the rest. I know it's complicated question that involves many factors, but all other things being equal, how long can I expect it would take for wine to clear (and degas) naturally.
Thanks!!!
