Pectic Enzyme + Glucose

[hector]

Hi there !

The Pectic Enzyme I use has also Glucose .

I just dissolve it in the Must 12 Hours after SO2 addition .

Can this lead to contamination ?!

That small addition should not hurt. SO2 should protect a must for a couple of days.

That won't be a problem at all. Like BeeWine said, the SO2 is your blanket.

Don't worry, be winey.

Is there still enough SO2 to kill any new coming Bacteria after 12 Hours ?!

As far as I know , we add the Pectic Enzyme 12 Hours after SO2 addition because free SO2 does not actively exist in the Must after this period of time and therefore the function of the Enzyme won't be affected .
