Either I am reading a different sheet or missing something others have seen too. Why not use this and bottle as you suggest? Maybe my process is different than others but I really don't want to use this on juice, I can freeze that if I want to keep it. This product kills the yeast and then breaks down into two biologically safe compounds in around 20 days. What is not to love about all of that? It seems like if used properly it's an excellent solution; just bottle after use. It doesn't break down the wine, it breaks down itself. The only issues I saw were the possible contradiction on pH Frederick mentioned (one line says Actistab is unaffected by pH; another says it's half Natamycin and another says Natamycin is affected by low pH, but does not define low) and home winemakers measuring anything in mg. I have precision balances so am considering buying a bottle right now. It looks like the South Africans have been using this too; I think DSM is a Belgian or French Company, I know their enzymes. Maybe this is not approved for commercial use in table wine in the US like Sodium Benzoate (that's why I never tried it, sorry for the slow response on that part of this thread. I never saw it approved other than for 'wine coolers'...) Joe |
