  • Adaptable to Wine Characteristics: Increase dosage to the higher end (200 ppm) for wines with pH over 3.5 or alcohol content below 10%.
  • Specific Use: Prevents renewed fermentation; not suitable for stopping active fermentation.
  • Important Consideration: Avoid in wines that have undergone malolactic fermentation to prevent "geranium" smell due to sorbic acid reaction.
  • Recommended Weighing: For accuracy, use a scale for dosing. Rough estimate: 1 tsp = 2.3 grams.

Enhance your winemaking process with Sorbistat K, the premium-grade Potassium Sorbate solution. Designed specifically to safeguard your wine from unwanted fermentation after adding residual sugars post the initial fermentation, Sorbistat K is a must-have for any serious winemaker.

Ensure the perfect balance in your wine by adding this high-quality stabilizer at a precise rate of 0.5 to 0.75 grams per gallon (125-200ppm). For optimal results, combine it with 0.3 grams of meta-bisulphite (50ppm) per gallon. Tailor the dosage to your wine's unique needs: use the higher range (200 ppm) when dealing with wines that have a pH of 3.5 or higher, or when the alcohol content falls below 10%.

It's important to note that Sorbistat K is designed to prevent renewed fermentation and is not suitable for halting active fermentation. Additionally, avoid using it in wines that have undergone malolactic fermentation, as the sorbic acid in Potassium Sorbate can react with lactic bacteria, leading to an undesirable "geranium" smell.

Accuracy is key in winemaking. That's why we recommend using a scale for precise dosing. While a rough estimate is 1 teaspoon equating to 2.3 grams, relying solely on these approximate conversions is not advised for achieving accurate dosage rates.

Choose Sorbistat K for a reliable, professional-grade solution to maintaining the integrity of your wine, ensuring each bottle you produce is of the highest quality.
