Potassium Sorbate - 8 Oz, Kosher
Potassium Sorbate, also known as a 'wine stabilizer', inhibits the growth of molds and yeasts. This may be necessary in some wines to prevent continued fermentation in the bottle.Re-fermentation is something that can occur even months after the wine has been bottled. Small amounts of yeast, not visible to the naked eye, can later become active if bottle temperature and other conditions become right.The effects can also be enhanced with the use of sodium or potassium metabisulfite. Potassium sorbate can be useful in natural wines or ciders in which wild yeast or bacteria may ferment unpredictably. 8 oz. package. Dosage: 1/2 tsp. per gallon wine to prevent continued fermentation
