Default Raising RS

I have a pear (1 gallon batch) wine that I'm about to bottle. It is
quite dry. I want to raise the residual sugar to between 2 and 4
percent. Question 1. I saw a formula for raising the sugar, does any
one have that handy? 2. The wine has been bulk aging for about 9
months, and I hit it with a campden tablet. Is fermantatiion likely to
start again?

Thanks
Will

If you add sugar, it will ferment. Campden alone will not stop that. You
need to stabilize your wine with the addition of potassium sorbate. That
will prevent the yeast from reproducing.
