Jim,
Have you considered using Actistab to stabilize your sweet wines? More
info here http://www.newworldwinemaker.com/pro...tent.asp?id=28

Hi Lum

1. Their spec sheet gives no more info than their advertizing hype.
2. The ad hype contradicts itself as to whether it is or is not
effected by low pH.
3. What_is_clear is that this product can only be used to "shock"
a wine. It then rapidly breaks down leaving any unbottled
wine at risk of REinfection.
4. It says that Scotlabs is the sole distributor in the US, but I did
a search of that site and found no mention of it.

Think I would want to know a lot more about this one before I tried it.

Frederick,
I have used Actistab for several years and find it does the job. It does
breakdown in a few weeks so it must be used with care.

This does look very interesting - where do you get yours, Lum? I did
some quick hunting online, but the product is hard to pin down in
North America - the DSM site doesn't list it and neither does theit US
dealer, Gusmer.

Thx,

Pp,
A friend in Australia sent me some Actistab a couple of years ago. TTB has
not approved Actistab. So, it may not be available in the US yet, but it is
readily available in Australia.
