what step...s to take next

[maverick007]

I have a DB variant, 5 gals.lemon juice, blackberry juice and pomegranate juice. Started 8/20/2017. SG 1.079. Finished at 0.999 on 8/26/17. It has been thoroughly de-gassed. Racked 2X. It has been in the carboy under air lock for 16 months. What is next??? I have a Milwaukee 102 and an AIO w/filter system.

Stabilize it, sweeten to taste, get it in bottles and enjoy. Arne.

16 months? You should've drank it by now as DB is an early drinker.

There's a huge DB thread with directions, have fun going through it. Lots of information and variants in it.

stabilize...1/4tsp of kmeta 1/4tsp of ksorb? wait how long to sweeten (using bench trial)? Thanks Arne

Kmeta (usually 1/4 tsp) and k sorbate, consult your packaging, but I think mine calls for a tablespoon for 6 gallons.

Thanks cmason1957. So..put in kmeta then k sorbate then backsweeten then bottle. what is the timing of this process?

 

[RadRob]

Read the first post of the link, it gives clear directions of the whole process. I'm a first time winemaker and made 2 batches and they came out exactly as described.

I have a three gallon batch waiting for back sweetening and bottling, took under two weeks.
