My elderflower wine is nearing 1.003 and I'd like to bottle it soon. I want some fizz, so I have champagne bottles ready. I'm looking at 21 litres
My questions are:
1. How much sugar should I add to each 750ml bottle to prime them?
2. How long until they are fizzy (wine already tastes good)?
3. I need to clear the wine first as it is cloudy. I have Young's Wine Finings with Kieselsol and Chitosan. Will this kill any remaining yeast because I'm pretty sure I need some residual yeast when I bottle it into primed bottles.
Thanks in advance. Really want to get this right.
