FinestWines.comWine Making: Finishing Slow Wine Fermentations
During the wine making process, all fermentations slow down as they reach their end, and some of those need a little help - find out how we get them to finish.
During fermentation, sugars are consumed and alcohol levels rise. Combined with other byproducts of wine fermentation, this creates a fairly hostile environment for the yeast culture to finish its work of consuming all the available sugar. Some fermentations need a little help reaching dryness. This is typically done by increasing the health, or volume, of the yeast culture in that fermentation.
