I don't. I add them directly to my wine. Sanitizing them will wash off some of the char.

1/4 teaspoon is the correct amount for 6 gallons.

They say it's a promotion, but that's pretty much their everyday price. The promotions never end.

I use 9lbs of fruit for a 6 gallon batch. The original recipe is for 6 gallons, not 5.

I soak in mine in "one step" to sanitize them before using.

I've used nothing but nylons in all batches over year with no ill effects. I only use neutral colors to limit the amount of dyes.

Aging makes a huge difference in the taste of your wine. Especially reds! I age my reds for a minimum of 2 years. I have 100's of bottles of red that are 3-4 years old that I feel are just now hitting their stride.

I also put them in dry. If you soak them in sanitizer, your going to wash off some of the char.

At what point would you dose it again at bottling?

You are reading it wrong. I'm asking about when it's in the carboy bulk aging and ready for bottling. Sorry if it's not clear!

I'm wondering at what point it needs dosing again? I think at the 2 month point I would dose it again if I was bottling.

Opps,,, just checked my notes and my original post should have said the last dose was 7-4-18, not 8-4-18. I went ahead and bottled it anyway without dosing it again. Hopefully it will be fine!

I have a 6 gallon batch of wine that's been bulk aging for 10 months. I dosed it every 3 months with a 1/4 teaspoon of kmeta. The last time being on 8-4-18. The plan is to bottle it tomorrow. Should I dose it with another 1/4 of kmeta tomorrow or just bottle as is? I plan on letting it age at...

Welcome to your new addiction!

My apologies, I thought you meant on the back of the instructions.

I see it now on the back of the oak package. Thank you!!!! Wtf! Can we be a little clearer with the instructions Winexpert and quite using generic instructions for every Elcipse kit with skins?

Here's a copy of my included instructions. Both are identical in both kits.

The entire back of my instructions are in another language and I have no clue what it says. That's my point, the wrong instructions were included in both of my kits. I don't doubt what you are saying. Quite the contrary, I plan on proceeding with both of my kits according to your instructions...

Both sets of the Bourbon Oak packages in both kits have the identical numbers on all 4 packs. So holding back a specific package makes no sense. There's no mention to hold 1 back anywhere in my instructions.

Winexpert Official, can you shed some light on the conflicting instructions? It looks like the wrong instructions were included with both my kits.
