Hi, I'm new to wine making and this forum am a little confused about when to rack. I understand it is generally recommended to rack every 3 months and add 1/4 tsp of sulphites each time (for a 5/6 gallon batch). However I was wondering if the wine is not dropping any sediment is it still necessary to rack the wine every 3 months? Or would it be better not to disturb it and leave it until you are ready to bottle? If you don't rack, is it still advisable to add sulphites every 3 months or do you only need to add this when you rack?
Thanks!
Thanks!
