Does it matter when I de-gas the wine if I am going to be bulk aging it? I was thinking that I should do it as soon as the fermentation is done and I have topped it off but I'm not sure. Also, just generally speaking for bulk aging, is this how you want to do it?
1. Fermentation is done, add k-meta
2. degas and top off
3. age for however long and add 1/4 tsp k-meta every 3 months
4. when almost ready to bottle add the fining agents
5. let the sediment settle for a week, rack and add the potassium sorbate
6. bottle
Or do you want to add the fining agents earlier to give them more time to do their job?
