**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.
Shop Disclaimer - the quality grapes that you've bought from The Shop, are grown by top professional growers, and never come in compromised by spoilage bacteria!
