WineXpert Chardonnay Semillion

Why are the clearing directions so different from WineXpert to RJ Spagnols, they also tell you they use no Sulfates and if you store your wine longer than a year add some??? What do other wise winemakers do? bk

I think WineXpert says they use "less" sulfites, so add more if you intend to age......

RJS and WineXpert use different fining agents, so the process changes a little.

I think that when aging more than 6 months, adding 1/4 teaspoon of kmeta right after fining is pretty typical. If you are bulk aging and not bottling rightway, you should add about 1/8 teaspoon of kmeta about every 8 to 12 weeks.
