Well I have been searching for hours now trying to find a nice list but i have been unsuccessful.
My question is this- When gathering ingredients for wine making other than fresh fruit (aka frozen concentrates, bottles of cider etc) what ingredients should i watch out for, and what ones are the preservatives that i should be watching for as well.
So far my searching has only landed me to watch out for,
-Sorbate (this was obvious to me because this is what i know to use to stop further yeast.
-Sorbic acid
-Banzoic acid
I apologize if this was answered somewhere else but i have been searching for a long while now with little results.
For what its worth my current wine i'm making is a
5 gallon batch
8 cans welch's concord grape frozen concentrate
6lb sugar
8tsp acid blend
4tsp pectic enzyme
1/4 pot meta
SG- (didnt have a hydrometer first day but got reading on 2nd at ~1.090)
planning on starting a 3 gallon batch of orange and a 1gal mead and raspberry batch this week.
