I made a 2 gal batch of grape wine. I used 2 gallons of Welch's grape juice and added about 4 cups of sugar. Let it ferment for about 3 weeks then bottled. When I transferred from primary to bottle bucket I added potassium sorbate. I added the correct amount as stated on the container for my volume. Then proceeded to bottle. 3 weeks later I have carbonated Wine. Its not bad.... but it isn't what I was going for....
What did I do wrong.
I have the same exact batch going right now and don't want to make the same mistake. What can i do differently to stop fermentation after bottle? Add more potassium sorbate? Or secondary and wait another week in addition to the potassium sorbate? Degas it?
Any info would be helpful.
