Craft A Brew Potassium Sorbate - 2oz Wine Stabilizer For Backsweetening Mead, Cider & Home Brews

About This Product

Home brewers, if you've ever wanted to sweeten your wine, mead, or cider without restarting fermentation, potassium sorbate is your secret weapon! This 2-ounce bottle from Craft A Brew is enough to handle 20+ gallons - seriously, a little goes a long way. Here's how it works: after fermentation is complete, you add this stabilizer to prevent any remaining yeast from multiplying. Then you can backsweeten with honey, sugar, or fruit juice without worrying about bottles exploding from renewed fermentation. The food-grade quality means it's safe for your beverages, and it doesn't affect flavor when used properly. It's perfect for when your mead or wine finishes too dry for your taste - just stabilize, sweeten to your preference, and bottle. The process is straightforward: make sure fermentation is truly complete (use your hydrometer!), add the recommended amount of potassium sorbate, wait a day, then add your sweetener. This is one of those basic supplies that every serious home brewer should have on hand. Whether you're making traditional mead, fruit wines, or hard cider, having control over sweetness levels makes a huge difference in the final product. The bottle includes clear usage instructions, and Craft A Brew is known for quality home brewing ingredients. If you're ready to move beyond dry finishes and start crafting beverages that match your exact taste preferences, this stabilizer is absolutely essential!
