We racked the rose and added the remaining fpac. The SG is at 0.996. Topped up with a Sauv. Blanc and the wine is resting nicely. It will settle and clear over the next week.
Jim and Mike,
Have you tried and opened a bottle lately to see how's the flavor?
I am going to bring a few of this Rose to FL for my Christmas trip.
We are down to about 6 bottles!
As @geek said, the sorbate will settle with time. 3-6 months seems to do the trick. At the 1 year mark, no signs at all. Mine's quite good already at the 8-ish month mark.
It's back! I'm going to get my pre-order in. The Labelpeelers page says delivery is scheduled for March. Hopefully it comes on time so I can get it ready for this summer!
Looks like a couple people swapped yeast. For those who did so, what did you think about your substitutions? Would you do the same again? I saw BA11 and QA23 both mentioned.
I'm bottling this one tomorrow. My notes say I dropped yeast in October last year. Seven months before it hits the bottle and eight months till I dig into it... probably enough time.
