Fumaric acid use
 

I have read that this acid is used to prevent bottle fermentation,
but I have not seen it for sale at any of the hobby shops I frequent.
Does anyone out there use this acid to prevent bottle fermentation ?

Fumaric acid has been used to prevent malolactic fermentation in bottled
wine. As far as I know, it will do nothing to prevent the fermentation of
sugar in bottled wine.
