**Chitosan Calculator and mega-info attached!**

Chitosan Can! The new anti-microbial that kills ALL of the bad-bugs, including Acetobacter (Vinegar). Non-Allergenic!

IF, you are making wine from compromised grapes (bird, bee, critter damage, raisening, mold and mildew, etc. - high bacteria load),
you know that SO2 (Bi-Sulfite) is physically not able to kill all the bad bugs at a pH of 3.6 and above (warm weather grapes)

(see the Sulfite article : http://homebeerwinecheese.com/wine-geeks ).

So, instead of depending on Sulfite

to do what it can't, use Chitosan at crush, keeping SO2 lower

and finished flavors higher.
