Misplaced some ingredients

[fermenter]

I started a WineXpert Merlot but when I racked into carboy I couldn't find the sulphite, kieselsol, or chitosan. Do I really need them? Maybe just the sulphite? Only my 3rd kit so still learning. Also I have 5 vines of Norton grapes. Which kit would be a good match for a mix?

Potassium sulfate would be required. I would suggest a dosage of 1/4 tsp for five gallons. The fining agents are not necessary as time will have the wine clear, they are great to have. A match for Norton may be Cabernet Sauvignon although a blend with Merlot would also work. I would suggest fermenting it separately and then bench trial to find the right blend.

Kinda what I thought. Thanks for the input. The Norton I've made so far isn't too bad. Enough grapes for about a gallon of wine. Will definitely experiment blending in future years.
