Default Best way to stop fermentation for a sweet wine

If you're talking filters for the Mini Jet or Super Jet , then #1 is
COARSE. It will not remove all of the yeast. Even the #3, labelled
Sterile, is not fine enough to remove all the yeast.

Thanks for the link! Sorry the SG is 1.005, my bad. It's almost down to 1
but its still fizzing pretty good. I'm thinking that stopping it sooner
will leave some of the flavour of the original juice and give me a fruiter
Zin instead of fermenting all the sugar out and then sweetening after (I
just finished one this way so I'll be able to compare later on.) I'm told
that a #1 filter is small enough to get out the yeast cells so what about
doing a #2 then a #1 and then adding the sorbates and sulphites at the end
to make sure it doesn't start back up? Gonna get some filters today and
give it a whirl I think. Thanks!
