Hi,
Looking for some advice on what to buy to finish off the wine I'm making. I've made two consecutive orders already and still missing things! So hopefully, third time's a charm.
I've finished fermentation on a rose, and a red.
They are now both in 8litre glass carboys.
I've added campden powder to both. 1/4 teaspoon to the red. And 1/4 of 1/4 teaspoon to the rose which I plan to do natural carbonation on.
However, I've since learned I need to purchase potassium sobate for the red to block fermentation. The campden isn't enough on its own.
I want to clear the wine, and I have some bentonite, as well as Young's 2 part wine finings. Clarificante para vino - Para 23 litros Young´s | www.cocinista.es
I guess my three main questions are:
Is there anything else I should be buying? I haven't done anything with regards to PH. Should I buy some PH strips? What would you recommend for increasing/decreasing PH?
Is degorging done with plastic corks? Or do I need to put a bottle top on for degorging? (That's what I've seen on youtube being used)
The last thing is, the red is very sour tasting. Should I be buying something to improve flavour?
I'll be buying from this shop Hacer vino en casa
Bottling wise, I have some corks for normal wine bottles with corker, as well as some Moscato bottles, plastic corks and the cages.
I also have some champagne yeast: Levadura para vinos espumosos (Champ) - 7 g Vinoferm | www.cocinista.es
