how much "extra" preservative for kits

May 04, 2004 3 Replies

I've noticed that the vintner's reserve kits advise to use more preservative (potassium sulfate? I don't have it in front of me) if the wine may be stored more than six months before consumption.



It doesn't, however, suggest a quantity. ANy suggestions?

I always add 1/2 camden tablet extra on the final racking prior to bottling.

That is per kit total (i.e. 23 litres - around 6 gallons).

Make sure you crush the tablet and mix with some wine before adding.

For more information, I suggest you check out the following web page:
