It’s still very early in your wines life to be bottling. Is there any sediment in the carboy?


Three options..

It’s your wine, you can bottle it now. Rack into a bucket first to avoid any sediment pickup. Add Kmeta at 1/4 tsp per 5 gallons.


Rack into another carboy to get the wine off the sediment, add the Kmeta at the 1/4 tsp per 5g rate. Keep the carboy topped off, add a similar white wine if you have to. Do not add water to top off.


Leave the carboy alone for another 3 months. Some wine styles leave the wine in contact with the lees, saying it improves flavors. Risk is that the wine might need Kmeta to still be protected. For a white wine, personally, I would not go with this option.
