A factor of 0.57 is often used to estimate\nthe expected amount of alcohol, or potential alcohol (PA) to be produced by\nyeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Total acidity (TA) has increased from 5.14 g\/L to 6.90 g\/L with a pH drop\nfrom 3.42 to 3.31. During fermentation, a drop in tartaric acid with a\ncorresponding drop in TA is expected as potassium bitartrate (KHT) formed becomes\nless soluble as ethanol concentration increases. Since TA increased, the juice\nlikely had a higher percentage of malic acid with little tartaric acid available\nto interact with potassium ions and drop out as KHT, which could be expected\nwith juice sourced from a cool-climate area like the Finger Lakes. The increase\nin TA would then be attributed to new acids formed during fermentation, succinic\nacid being the most significant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like the balance in taste here, so I will not want to drop the\nacidity further by cold stabilization, electing instead the use of a protective\ncolloid, like a polyaspartate salt or a solution of carboxymethyl cellulose\n(CMC), to prevent KHT crystals from forming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More on TA from a taste perspective in the <strong>Tasting Notes<\/strong> section below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All other parameters show normal results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Color parameters are monitored to assess color evolution and to identify any potential issues during aging. A<sub>420<\/sub> is the absorbance (in absorbance units, or a.u.) measured at a wavelength of 420 nm; it is a measure of the yellow component of the color. A<sub>440<\/sub> and A<sub>520<\/sub> are absorbances measured at 440 nm and 520 nm, respectively; these are \u201cbrowning\u201d indicators and will help evaluate aging and detect oxidation issues. I am looking at aging the wine for years, and so, these parameters will help me make a good assessment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>TASTING NOTES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> The wine definitely tastes very dry, but quite refreshing with its zesty acidity. There are attractive sweet-fruit notes with pleasant citrusy aromas on the nose and flavors on the palate. There is just a hint of petrol too; I expect this to jump to the forefront as the wine ages \u2013 it is a cool-climate Riesling after all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DEGASSING, CLEARING AND STABILIZING<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1499\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/progress-on-my-finger-lakes-riesling-from-a-mosti-mondiale-meglioli-kit\/20200320_091435\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091435-scaled.jpg?fit=1920%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.9&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SM-A520W&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1584695675&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.6&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;40&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20200320_091435\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091435-scaled.jpg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091435-scaled.jpg?fit=625%2C833&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091435-scaled.jpg?fit=625%2C833&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1499\" width=\"180\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091435-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091435-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091435-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091435-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091435-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091435-scaled.jpg?resize=624%2C832&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091435-scaled.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I racked the wine into a pail and then degassed for about 3 minutes, as\nper instructions, using a stir paddle mounted on an electric drill. Since I am\noften asked if there are any risk in whipping the wine and introducing excessive\namounts of oxygen, I measured the amount of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the\njust-racked wine and monitored the uptake during degassing. The initial DO was\n0.65 mg\/L and rose to 1.22 mg\/L by the end of degassing \u2013 so DO essentially doubled\nin about 3 minutes. This is still relatively small as I often see higher levels\njust from simple racking operations and much higher levels from filtration, for\nexample. Kits also come with high amounts of sulfite to be added, so that will\ntake care of even abnormally high amounts of oxygen, a not-uncommon occurrence with\nbeginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I added the 5-g packet of potassium metabisulfite; this corresponds to about\n125 mg\/L (ppm) of free SO<sub>2<\/sub>, and so, the wine will be well protected\nuntil bottling and during bottle aging. I will measure free SO<sub>2<\/sub>\nprior to bottling to get a sense of how much SO<sub>2<\/sub> is consumed and\nlost between now and bottling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1500\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/progress-on-my-finger-lakes-riesling-from-a-mosti-mondiale-meglioli-kit\/20200320_091547\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091547-scaled.jpg?fit=1920%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.9&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SM-A520W&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1584695747&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.6&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.02&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20200320_091547\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091547-scaled.jpg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091547-scaled.jpg?fit=625%2C833&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091547-scaled.jpg?fit=625%2C833&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1500\" width=\"179\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091547-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091547-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091547-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091547-scaled.jpg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091547-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091547-scaled.jpg?resize=624%2C832&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/techniquesinhomewinemaking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20200320_091547-scaled.jpg?w=1250&amp;ssl=1 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 179px) 100vw, 179px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I added the pack of kieselsol, stirred the wine, then added the pack\nof chitosan for clarifying the wine.
