I have been brewing beer for years now and will be brewing a wine kit soon. While looking at directions on a wine kit I have a question about water. cleaning and sanitizing.
While directions call for using Potassium Metabisulphate (which I use to get chlorine out of my water) this seems to be the only thing used to clean with. Is there a reason that PBW and Starsan aren't used to clean and sanatize?
Also while beer brewers are very concerned about the quality of water used and salts added to create the water profiles for the style of beer, it seems that wine brewers aren't concerned about water and water profiles as long as it is good to drink.
Is this something I haven't seen yet or is there just no concern about water?
