Hi guys,
I've reached a point where I have run out of bottles and I'm choosing to bulk age now. The most I've bulk aged in the past is about 3 months which usually involves a 1/4tsp just after filtering than I bottle. For longer bulk aging, I was planning to rack again after 3 months and still add the 1/4 tsp sulphite which is fine. If there is very little settlement in the next 3 months do I still have to rack or add another 1/4 tsp sulphite? Or can I leave it in the carboy for 6 months just as it is? Another question...what airlock should I use? Silicone, water trap air lock or silicone flapper?
