In the past, I have had some minor problems getting the sorbate to dissolve when added to the wine dry. So now, I always put it in a bit of water, and whisk it a little. Then I let it sit for a few minutes while adding the K-meta and degassing the wine before adding the sorbate solution.So if the sorbate was added dry, what would be the fix for it? Actually my directions say 1/2 of cool water..not warm..
Well, first you don't add them together, you can add 1 or the other first but never mixed together. I always add my k-meta dry, but potassium sorbate needs to be mixed in a small amount of warm water to activate, then you can add it.
I don't know if it is wrong or not. Most instructions that I have seen suggest that they be done separately. I have seen one kit's instructions that called for them mixed together.Why never mixed together? I've done it that way several times am I doing something wrong i don't know about?
