Peach wine tastes like vinegar

[harlantk]

2 oz or 3 tbls of k-meta per gallon and really 3 tbls of citric acid also as that increases the sanitizing strength considerably!

Add Citric to the solution?
Really?
(self) makes note: study this and figure out why.

Thanks Wade!!

Ahh - didn't know you needed an airlock on it to keep it good. I just have an open one inside my corkidor.

You need an air lock on it for storage. In a corkidor it is not for storage and it should not have an air lock.

Dan (Runningwolf) is correct! In the corkidor you want it open to sanitize the corks and with the lid closed its sealed good anyway although it will eventually still need replacing. i have to replace mine usually only do to using it as a sanitizer also. Ive had it in the bucket for about 6 months and it would still knock you off your feet if the lid was popped in my room though so be careful opening and try to do that outside! Citric acid makes the sanitizer (S02) come out of solution much easier and faster but whenadding his only do it to the amount you are going to use at the time cause adding it to all will greatly shorten its shelf life due to that!

Ahh - I see - so if i have some in a spray bottle - when i am done with the spray bottle - do i need to add the solution back into the storage setting? Or is it fine to leave in the spray bottle?

Things I learned the hard way:
K-meta stored in a gallon jug eats the metal cap.
