Strawberry wine is on the menu

When you stabilize, how much Kmeta and Sorbate do you use? I have about 10 gals of strawberry ready to stabilize and back sweeten and i am want to survey what others do. cxwgfamily

.5 - .75 g / gallon pot. sorbate, .3 g / gallon sulfite

1/4 tsp kmeta per 6 gallons, potassium sorbate it depends on where you got it.

I say that because my old potassium sorbate said 1/4 tsp per gallon, my new says 3/4 tsp per gallon

Are you not afraid the apple juice will take away some of the strawberry flavor?

No. Apple juice is light in flavor, 3 gallons in 13.5 gallons is not much and I left it on the strawberries until there was almost nothing left.
