My first batch of wine, peach. I'm hearing I should have been sulphiting all along whenever I racked off the wine...is this a major mistake? I did add the campden tablets in the beginning.
I guess I've also not been leaving the wine on the dregs long enough; 2-3 days with a good inch or so of lees and I want to rack. I've done it 6 times so far. Hearing I should only have racked mostly 4 times. I'm pretty sure I didn't siphon it off correctly for awhile there so I may have been sucking lees into the new rack. How long do I leave it sitting on the dregs? I thought the dead yeast would start doing something else & mess up the wine.
I'm at the time for stabilizing and fining so I'm wondering about the next batch I do. I hope I didn't screw up too badly.
