I plan to add enough honey to the pressed cider to get the PA up around 18%+ and I'm using the Eau De Vie (sp?) yeast by Wyeast.. my question is that if i heat the mixture to just under boiling and skim the skum (as directed in many . . .

I purchased Cellar Classic Johanisburg Reisling kit from you. I have just racked the wine into a fresh carboy. The instructions now state if ageing past 6 months add an extra 1/4 teaspoon sulphite. This kit came with sulphite but it was to be used at day 14. What should I use for the suggested 1/4 teaspoon before bottling?

Am new to winemaking. I have a fairly nice crop of muscadines that I made jelly with last year. Would like to try wine. Is the five gallon kit good and can I use it to make smaller batches? Also what do I need besides kit?

My wine kit says that if I plan on storing my wine more than 6 months, I should add more sulfite just prior to bottling. Do you recommend the same, and if so, how many tablets should I use?

If I add a couple campden tablets in between rackings once fermentation is complete, should i fit right away with airlock? or wait 24 hours? Is this even a good idea to do with fruit wines to help prevent oxidation? Thanks!

When I use Campden Tablets I crush them and mix in hot water. I can still see the particles floating around sometime after. What am I doing wrong? I have even used a coffee grinder to crush the tablets.

I have 5 gallons of musadine underway using your kit and great advice. Jim & George's book says to add Campden tablets each time you rack. After reading the Q&A here, this seems to be excessive. Am I misinterpreting their advice? I do not want to over sulfite my wine. BTW, your site is an excellent source of both materials and information.

If one added sodium metabisulphite to cruched muscadine berrys and waited 7 day, (there was still a sulfur smell to it) added the yeast and other ingredients called for, could it have killed the yeast? Its been two weeks and no bubble in the air lock.
