I have been making wine for almost 50 years and never had this happen.
I have six gallons of blueberry wine that has been fermenting for about nine months. It stopped after about four or five months and appeared to be finished. About a two months ago, I added 1 1/2 teaspoons of Potassium Sorbate and 2 teaspoons of Potassium Metabisulfite to get ready to bottle. It started working and is slowly bubbling away. It tastes dry and quite good. I had a refractometer brix reading of approximately 3 when I added the Potassium salts. Our local winery owner told me that a few other people had the same thing happen to them. Is it possible that the Sorbate or Metabisulfite may act as a yeast nutrient of some sort? Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I want to bottle it. |
