Is the wine clear? If not some superkleer will help. You will need to add sorbate (usually 1/2 tsp per gallon) and k-meta (1 campden tablet per gallon) to prevent the yeast from waking up and blowing out the corks.
How much did you make? Did you oak the peach and with what oak?

I was looking for some the items you mentioned and ran into a little confusion. I am not sure which I should be using:

Potassium Sorbate - This Is probably the sorbate that you mentioned?

On the site here there are 2 choices on the Campden tablets:
Campden Tablets - Sodium Metabisulfite (100 Count)
Campden Tablets - Potassium Metabisulfite (100 Count)

which one of these should I be using or are they the same? Or does it matter?

Thank you so much for the advice!

Yes Potassium Sorbate is what you need as well as Potassium Metabisulfite, but you can use either one.

 

[pelican]

You can use either one of the 'metabisulfite' --potassium metabisulfite and sodium metabisulfite tablets can be used interchangeably


Potassium sorbate (also called by some as just sorbate for short) is a different product, different action.

Both the 'sorbate' and the 'sulfite' are used, together, to stabilize wine.

How much k-meta (or camden) do you use on 1 gallon batches of fruit wine while bulk aging?


I assume 1 camden every 3 months..... Is that what you all suggest?
