Good Evening,
First thanks for all the previous assistance you guys have given me during this first batch of wine. I have a few bottling questions if you don't mind.
My starting gravity was 1.085 and ending was .0996. I'm imagining I'm low enough to not have to worry about refermentation, and do not plan on adding grape juice to the final product. So I'm guessing I don't need to use Potassium Sorbate?
I've worked on keeping this batch low sulfite. I know that once bottled, I'll want to add some sulfite to keep it from going bad / give it decent shelf life. Should I add sulfites before bottling? And if so, how much would you suggest for say a 6 month to 1 year shelf life?
Any final thoughts or anything you've learned from experience that you would suggest during bottling? I did pick up a drill wand to take out the CO2.
Thanks again!!
