Potassium Sorbate 30g

€3,00

Potassium Sorbate is a stabilising agent used in winemaking, cider making, mead making, and juice production to help prevent renewed fermentation after fermentation has finished.

It is commonly used before back sweetening or bottling to reduce the risk of yeast becoming active again. The granulated form dissolves easily and is simple to use in small batch fermentations.

For wine and other fermented beverages, potassium sorbate is typically used alongside potassium metabisulphite to achieve effective stabilisation.

Supplied in a convenient 30 g pouch, it is ideal for home winemakers, cider makers, and mead makers.
