Mmmm, Sorbate De Potassium...

i forgot to check the gravity yesterday, so it sat in the carboy for an extra day doing nothing. But today i remembered to check it and it was 0.991 again. Time to add the delicious sorbate de potassium, metabisulfite de potassium, and weird goo of shellfish shell...

Once everything is dissolved, you have to make the wine is stirred well and drive off any CO2 that may be lingering. i stirred it for an extra two minutes, mostly because i forgot to watch the time...and it was cool to see the wine swirl around...Now just have to wait another 14 days for it to clear before bottling.
