I have just started primary fermentation of my first batch of wine from a kit (Vintner's Reserve Merlot).
I used Diversol/Sparklebrite to clean/sanitize my equipment. It was all brand new equipment. All I did was mix the solution into a spray bottle, spray all of the equipment, wait 20 mins, then rinse it off. What I DIDN'T do that I now regret is put all of the solution and equipment into the primary fermenter and let it soak. Also, I didn't do a "pre-rinse" before applying the cleaner/sanitizer.
I hope that makes sense. Do you think this batch will be messed up? It would be nice to know now before I put a bunch more effort into it. Thanks!
