How to kill off yeast

[Gregg Meyer]

Ok haven't done it yet but am thinking about stopping the yeast when its ready to bottle and add concentrated frozen apple juice, thawed of course and then bottle still apple wine. I can always just add some sprite serra mist or 7up to the glass to make it fizz at the time were drinking it. What do you think?? That way i can just use wine bottles to do the whole batch and I don't haver to worry about bottle bombs.

Potassium Sorbate.

I'm planning to stop the fermentation on mine as well so I can sweeten it. I haven't decided what I'll use to sweeten it yet, but I plan to put a measured amount (1/4 tsp per gallon) into the fermenter a couple days before I'm ready to rack it off...

I see you like the bonz's too. I think this is a cool pic. Yes I think I will kill it off after I think it is all fermented out, then add some concentrate for sweetness and bottle it still.

Same here... Mine has been fermenting for 3 weeks and the clarity is starting to come around, but I plan to let it ferment for probably 3 more weeks at least. The reason I will be adding the potassium sorbate is so that it will not ferment any more when I sweeten it.

I'm a Radiography student, so the bones are something I deal with regularly I'm thinking about using that drawing of the hand on all my beer labels just for fun...
