Poppyseed Cellars

We want to add 25 ppm sulphites. That is 1.65 mL / gal 10% sulphite suloution:

• 14 gal demijohns:  1.65 mL/gal * 14 gal = 23 mL 10 % soln each demijohn
• 1 3 gal jug: 1.65 mL * 3 gal = 5 mL
• 1 3/4 gal jug: 1.65 mL/gal * 3/4 = 1.2 mL
• 750 mL bottle:  1.65 mL/gal  * 1/5 gal  = 0.33 mL
• 375 mL bottle: 1.65 mL/gal * 1/10 gal = .17 mL

I did the additions. I smelled and tasted the demijohns and 3 gallon carboy. Nose and taste were still the same. The nose has lots of oak to me. Taste was good. I could of  just kept on drinking!

The nose on the other containers was the same as the big containers. Nothing is going bad or getting worse..
