i just got done bottling my second and third batch of wine. the first two were a dry pear and the third was a summer breeze wild berry zinfindel. i tasted a hint of k-meta in the first pear, so i rechecked the recipie and done another.it tastes the same like its got something wrong in it. its not undrinkable, but theres definatley a k-meta chemical taste in there. i got the same result with the summer breeze kit, and it was done exactley to specs. is there a chance im doing something wrong in the sanitizing stage before bottling? what i do is pour a bit of solution in each bottle, then run some through all the hoses and pump on the bon vino mini jet, rinse all tools etc, pour some in the carboy that i'll filter to and bottle from. then i dump out bottles into a bucket, dump carboy, and add corks to float in this bucket and cover for later use. ill add the 1/4 tsp k-meta to empty carboy, then filter, and gravity feed into bottles, and put in corks.
im sorry this is long, but i wanted to tell everything im doing, because im obviously doing something wrong because my wine is really pretty, but doesnt taste too good. the soltion i use is k-meta and water mixed accoring to package. is the residual solution in the bottles and hoses the culprit? please help.
