Arrghh! H2S

Once again I have a serious H2S problem. The pinot is stinky! This is really frustrating. As far as I know, I am doing everything right!

I racked it yesterday, and again this morning, with lot’s of splashing. It helped a lot, but it is still there. I don’t want to keep doing the rack and splash, as it will eventually get too much O2 in the wine, and then I’ll have different problems.

The ferment is almost done. The sugars were at 0.6%, by Clinitest. My next step is copper sulphate to remove the H2S. I’ll post in a few forums to see if there is any other solution…but splashing and copper sulphate are the only solutions  I have read about.
