Scenario: Let's say I racked my WE Nebbiolo kit into a carboy (along with 1/4 tsp K-meta) after secondary fermentation for a planned 3 months of bulk aging before bottling. But then some other need came up for that carboy (a friend asks me to make some wine for his wedding, or I see a great clearance deal on a 1+ year old kit like the LE16 Cherie Merlot and I don't want to let the kit age that much longer).
At what interval after the initial dose of K-meta would I want to dose again during degassing/clearing/bottling to ensure stability in the bottle? Two months into bulk aging? One month?
I'm trying to determine the statute of limitations on the effectiveness of K-meta, especially given that I'll be potentially introducing a bunch of air during degassing.
