Pomegranate Wine update - 2nd racking

Jan 28, 2007 1 Replies

Three days ago, I added Kielosol and Chitosan, racked my pomegranate wine into two one-gallon jugs, and put them away in an old 'fridge in the garage at ambient temperature about 35 to 40F. After racking, I still had a bit less than a quart of wine left over -- not enough to do anything but drink. I put it in the house 'fridge and let it sit until last night. Still on the tart side of the taste level, I added sugar before I put it away. Last night, the wine was perfectly clear to the point where I could read labels on the other side of the Mason jar. The color is a beautiful ruby red. The pomegranate taste is great. Now, all I have to do is collect enought split size bottles over the next couple of months. I'm thinking about racking again in a month or so to get it off the lees. I have some raw frozen pomegranate juice that I'm thinking of using to top off the jugs. Anyone see any problem doing that?



No problem if you stabilize the wine against refermenting by potassium sorbate - the juice will add some sugar.
