- Add Bentonite with the racking - 5% slurry based on 1 g Bentonite per 1 gal of wine: so a carboy gets a slurry of 5 g bentonite, 95 g water. Let the slurry sit for 2 hours.
- Boost the SO2 from 12 to 40 or 50 ppm. Will add 2 tsp of 10% solution.
Well, gee, it was just like the plan. Peter came over and we whipped through it. Started with 14 gallons (5+5+3+1) and finished with +13 (5+5+3 3x750 ml). The 750's are pretty gunky, but we're just looking at them as toppers. Don't have proper sized drilled bungs for them, so have corked them and thrown them into the fridge. Will get stoppers and see what can be done.
This is our first use of bentonite.
