Havent racked or sulfited my blueberry in almost 7 months, is it bad?

[TimTheWiner]

I started my blueberry bliss in August and I racked to secondary but never racked again or sulfited since then, due only to my own laziness. Is it most likely bad? I will check free SO2 tomorrow with my Vinmetrica.

Probably not although you may want to rack it a few more time in the next few weeks to aid in clearing.

I was going to wait til about June to bottle anyway, so should rack twice more I assume. I used to have a chart somewhere of ideal free SO2 for reds and whites (I'm thinking blueberry would be considered a "red") or should I not go by that?

I would consider it a red if it is red vs white. Is this the chart you speak of? http://www.homebeerwinecheese.com/SO2.html

Only one way to tell. Use your nose first to smell. If it passes the smell test, move on to round two. Taste test!

Took the words right out of my mouth, Mike. Arne.

Yeh that's the chart (or close to it).

If you use a big enough glass, you never have to worry about SO2 levels!
