Hello All,
I have made 1 kit and about 6 or 7 buckets of wine in my two year experience as a winemaker. I just started my first "country" wine experiment. Well sort of... I am making hard lemonade. As such this is my first experience with sorbate.
I understand what sorbate does. I just don't understand why I don't use it when I make wine from the buckets of juice. Is it because I let the wine ferment to dry but not the hard lemonade (which I am going to be backsweetening). So the hard lemonade will have sugar in it but my wine doesn't??
