CuSO4 and Pinot Noir

Joe,

You have a lot of copper in your wine so the yeast may not get the copper level down to a desirable level. But in my experience, several grams of dry yeast per gallon of wine will remove a significant amount of copper.

I think the reaction between yeast cells and metal ions is fast. But, it will takes a week or so for the yeast to settle so the wine can be racked off of the yeast and adhering copper.

Good luck, Lum

Just got the results from the lab back. 1.69 ppm (mg/L) copper. This result is prior to adding the yeast as suggested by Lum. I will post the final amount of copper after I rack off the yeast.
