Well I’m the type who is never satisfied. And no matter what it is- i always want more, bigger, better, etc... Something tells me that this will be a lifelong balancing act.

FYI, I occasionally have a batch take off on me during the pre-treatment phase before innoculating with yeast. And when that happens I knock it back with k-meta. But I have always wondered what would happen if I allowed it to do it's thing. So last summer I split out a few litres of self fermenting juice and let it go. At the time, I thought it was one of the more exciting things I'd done with my wine making in years. I'd lay in bed at night thinking about it's potential complex and full bodied characteristics. Will here we are - 12 months on - and I must report that it produced a very very ordinary wine. Absolutely nothing stunning about it. So - I shall continue to use my normal commercially available selection. But I am pleased I gave it a shot.
