Bottling & storage questions

Bottling & storage questions

Postby saramc » Thu Feb 03, 2011 4:37 pm

Everything I have read about E-Z caps stresses that the finished product needs to be stored in refrigerator. I will be making mead/wine/cider for now but was wondering for wine, if I were to choose to use campden and potassium sorbate would I be able to traditionally bottle in glass, cork and store at room temperature? For mead and/or cider, would that concept also apply but bottle in PET bottles (which are appropriate for carbonated products and come in a variety of sizes)?? Thanks!

Yes, if you kill the yeast the beverage no longer needs to be refrigerated. The same holds true if the yeast dies of natural causes (alcohol level gets too high).
