What do you mean by
stabilizing?
Stabilizing
the wine comes in the later stages when the primary and
secondary stages are complete. You’re looking at your wine
and it is starting to clear great now we can start bottling
right? Absolutely no don’t even think about unless you want
to create an explosion.
When a
wine is fermenting its still alive and there is a
microbiological process still happening however this is not
visual but don’t let this fool you the wine is still
fermenting.
If you were to bottle the wine at this point the carbon dioxide
can cause an explosion and your wine could end up on the
ceiling. By stabilizing the wine we can avoid this common
mistake.
So I can avoid this
happening?
When we talk about stabilizing the wine it just means we have
to stop the wine from fermenting. Potassium Sorbate is one of
the most commonly used for this process. However Potassium
Sorbate will not kill the yeast but it will stop it producing
over a period of time. The usual period is around 3 days. It is
important to get the dose right use a half of teaspoonful per
gallon.
Potassium Sorbate is very
available in any good wine store but read the instructions
carefully before use.
The final stage is to bottle the wine this is where the fun
starts. If money is short then you can get bottles from almost
anywhere. Most people today rather than recycle them are
pleased to give them away. However there is still a lot of work
to be done. Cleaning and sterilizing is essential don’t be in a
rush to get the wine into bottles or you could end destroying
all the hard work you have put in so far. You are going to need
corks don’t make the mistake of using used corks. It is
possible to do this however if you are considering this well
sterilize and clean them thoroughly.
