This will be my second year making wine.
I currently have been using the book "The Home Winemaker's Companion".
Using Sangiovese Grapes
I have an estimate of 40 gallons I will be pitching.
In the book it says add 8.8 g yeast nutrient for a 5 gallon batch.
So that comes to 70.4 grams of yeast nutrient for 40 gallons. The book has me add it all at once but after some reading I'm under the impression I should add it slowly over the course of the ferment?
How many grams pre Pitching? How many grams per day? and does the 70.4 grams look correct?
