I’ve done this many times. 1 can will add approximately 4 points in 5 gallons. I recommend primary and secondary as usual. Rack to tertiary and stir up sediment. Add a well rounded 1/8 tsp of K-meta and 3/4 tsp of K sorbate and stir with a wine wand& drill for 4-5 minutes. Add your clarifying...

You need to kick up all the sediment before adding sparkalloid. A good 1-2 minute vigorous stir will do, then add it, then stir a minute again. Did you de-gas before adding? Directions just say to add, but any good wine kit will tell you before adding fining, that you need to kick up sediment...

@jusware, you are correct about the undissolved weight, i think its 11.5lbs/gallon. Wholesome foods bottles by weight not volume, my bad. I had 6 of the 23.5oz(as packaged nt. wt.) bottles of blue=8.8 lbs. Based on that 8.8 *34 pppg = 299p. 299p/ 5gal = 60. My gravity at 68F was 1.076...

there is an issue with fermentability of agave nectar, probably dependant on manufaturer. Many places online generally quote it at 34pppg. 1 gallon is approx 8lbs. According to the online sources 8lbs*34pppg = 272pppg/4gal = 1.068. As an anecdote, I used 8.8lbs in a 5 gallon batch and it...

It looks like the same thing. My homebrew store is almost certain that the Wholesome foods agave nectar"organic" actually has preservatives not listed on the bottle. I did call the manufacturer and they deny that but I basically did all the same things less the tannins and dried fruit. BUT i...

I too have the same problem as you have. I made a 5 gallon batch jan 19th and OG was 1.078. As of 3/1/12 it was only 1.056. Used 2 narbonne sachets and 3 premier cuvee. I have tried several pitching and aerations, a whole bottle of nutrient and energizer acid blend additions to lower pH to...
