I have a question about clearing my wine...When I checked my specific
gravity, prior to stabilizing, there were no air bubbles for several days and the sp gr. reading was at the lowest possible point on the scale (I could not get an accurate reading because the hydrometer actually dipped slightly below the wine line .990). I assumed the fermentation had stopped and continued to stabilizing the wine. My Brew King Selection Estate Pinot Noir kit says to stir vigorously for 2-3 minutes after adding the metabisulphite and sorbate. Then after adding the chitosan, stir again for another 2-3 minutes and then seal with the bung. Instructions elsewhere say to stir several times a day for 3 days. If I let my wine sit long enough, will it clear properly with only 1 stirring? If I stabilized my wine slightly too early, will it still clear properly if I let it sit long enough? Thanks! -Steve |
