I have a sour ready for bottling and I want to kill off the active bugs before doing so. Reasoning behind this is to prevent further souring. I have explored three options and would like to hear opinions:
Dropping temp on the batch to around 25F.
Using potassium metabisulfite.
Stove-top batch pasteurization.
It's a fruit sour, so I guess pectin issues should be considered.
