I'm a Newbie to winemaking and just finished adding the final ingredients to the carboy for the 2 week wait before I check clarity and (hopefully) proceed to bottling. This is my first attempt at winemaking and I have read and practiced all procedures exactly asoutilne in the tutorial and kit instructions. I've also read a lot of the post and replies on this forum and learned much.
I'm not exactly certain though, on one small detail during the sanitizing process. And maybe I've missed it in my prior readsfor one reason or the other so I'll ask Ya'llfor help:
After cleaning and sanitizing, should the K-Meta be rinsed off of theequipment and toolsBEFORE usingthem to perform their chores? Also, after sanitizing the primary and carboy should they be rinsed to remove the K-Meta before ingredients are introduced. And,after cleaning and sanitizing the bottles, do I need to rinse-out the K-Meta as well?
Finally -- Howfar in advance of bottling should the bottles be sanitized(i.e., how longwill they remain fit for bottling AFTER sanitizing)?
Thankingallin advance for any answers to my inquiry.
