Sorbate wait a week, then sweeten.

Though technically you are suppose to be able to do so with in 24 hours.

Always best to wait at least a few days to a week. You want to make certain the sorbate has been dissolved. last thing you want is it to referment after back sweetening.

Kits, such as mist kits, have you sulphite & sorbate then sweeten (add the F-pack) right away.

If the fermentation is finished, ie the yeast is now dormant, and the sorbate dissolves (visual check required), then you shouldn't have to wait.

Personally I'm not sure what waiting will prove (unless the sorbate hasn't dissolved, which I've never had problems with).

Yes youcan sweeten immediately. All kits have you do this oretty much although I like to give it extra time just to be safe.

Yeah i just did them both at the same time. I've seen some recipes say at the same time and others say wait. Can't really see any big issues. the sorbate seemed to dissolve almost instantly.
