I am in the process of making my first wine that I attempted to stabilize (Skeeter Pee). I put the Potassium Sorbate into my Skeeter Pee after it had fermeted out to 0.998. After two days, I still see some of the PS cylinders floating at the top of the carboy. Is that normal, or did I do something wrong?
 
You're supposed to dissolve the sorbate in a little wine or water first. Why are you sorbating a dry wine? Are you planning on back sweetening?
 
I did not dissolve it first. I am planning to back sweeten it. I've just followed the directions on the skeeter pee website.
 
Do I have to worry about oxygenating it if I stir it? Sorry if these are dumb questions, but I've only made beer before.
