Ritchies Potassium Sorbate 25g Fermentation Stopper Wine Stabilizer. \nFor stabilising and preventing fermentation after bottling. \nAdd 1 gram (1/2 tsp) per gallon. Recommended to use in conjunction with Campden tablets. \nPotassium Sorbate produces sorbic acid when added to wine. \nIt serves two purposes. \nWhen active fermentation has ceased and the wine is racked for the final time after clearing, Potassium Sorbate will render any surviving yeast incapable of multiplying. \nYeast living at that moment can continue fermenting any residual sugar into CO2 and alcohol, but when they die no new yeast will be present to cause future fermentation. \nWhen a wine is sweetened before bottling, potassium sorbate is used to prevent refermentation when used in conjunction with Potassium Metabisulfite or Campden Tablets. \nIt is primarily used with sweet wines, sparkling wines, and some hard ciders but may be added to table wines which exhibit difficulty in maintaining clarity after fining. \n.
