My Winexpert kit says I need to "mix vigorously" or some such thing when adding potassium metabisulfite and potassium sorbate and driving out CO2. It says I should do this while the wine is on the lees in the carboy. I don't have a Mix-Stir and my usual stirring spoon is several inches short of reaching the bottom even if I use it upside down.
So here's my question: Do most people just rack it into a bucket where the vigorous stirring is easier, then rack it back on top of the lees or what? Thanks.
