WineXpert Fruit wines

[rrawhide]

Hi all


I have a 1-gallon batch each of strwaberry, blackberry and peach. All have a little off smell to them. Would these benefit from splash racking and adding k-meta? I racked normally yesterday and it seemed to help a little. How much k-meta should I add for a 1 gallon batch? How long should one wait to bottle these fruit wines? Should they bulk for a long time or just bottle and let settle there? ThanxEdited by: rrawhide

What kind of smell are we talking about here. How long since k-meta has been added? When were they finished fermenting? They can bulk age for quite some time. Some people bulk age for a year or longer but the free S02 must be within 30-50ppm or they are susceptible to bacteria.
