My red wine had too much acid so I added this product;
Compound deacidifier based on calcium carbonate, potassium carbonate and potassium tartrate. Because of its composition, deacidification takes place in a more balanced way than when using a simple deacidifier. This benefits the overall taste of the wine. Dose : 10 g / 10 litre reduces the acidity by 1 g / litre That was 2 months ago. One month ago I tranferred the wine off of this deacidifier and at that time it smelled pretty nasty like sulpher. Today I took a sample and it really tastes fine. But the sulpher smell is still there allbeit it has lessened a bit. This nasty smell was NOT there before I added this crap. The wine was simply too acidic. I've been doing some searches on this board for sulpher smelling wines and some say to add copper! OR, rack with a copper pipe on the end. It is Winter here and the wine is @50°f and is VERY clear and tastes fine. It's just the SMELL! Did I mess this up by adding the above mentioned product? If so, is there anything I can do? Like I said the wine is clear, topped up, and tastes pretty darn good actually. FWIW this is not a kit. The grapes were Dornfelder. Please advise! Phil |
