I got this "merlot kit" from my wife for X-mas. I started it 1 week prior to starting my WE kit. It's a very beginner's kit she got at a discount housewares store. It only makes 4 bottles. Anyway, I'm in the "stabilizing" stage and it says to add the packets of potassium sorbate and potassium metabisulfite. Well, I have the potassium metabisulfite, but it didn't have the potassium sorbate. Maybe that's why it was at a discount place...
. Do I really need this? What can I use in it's place? I'm suppose to bottle by tomorrow. I checked the local brewers place, but all they have is beer stuff and no sorbate.
