I had a riesling wine kit from Vino Del Vida in primary for 13 days. Yesterday I checked the gravity and I was at .997 so decided to rack to secondary. The kit came with K-meta and K-sorb, as well as some kieselsol and chitosan.
For whatever reason the stabilizers and fining that came with the kit were nowhere to be found!!!!!! I think someone may have been cleaning and it got thrown away.
Fortunately from making some strawberry wine I had some k-meta and k-sorb on hand as well as some isinglass.
So what I did was add the required amount of k-meta(1/8tsp/gal) and k-sorb (1/4tsp/gal) and degassed. I then added 1oz of isinglass and degassed. I have read that isinglass works best used in conjunction with bentonite. The kit included bentonite which was put in at the beginning of primary.
This was and is a 6 gallon batch. Does everything I did sound right? I assume this will clear given time.
