SANITATION
It is absolutely essential that everything that comes in contact with your wine is clean and sanitized. You may clean and sanitize equipment your wine is clean and sanitized. You may clean and sanitize equipment (except filter) with a chlorine base cleanser (Chloriclean). This will inhibit harmful bacteria. After sanitizing, rinse equipment well with clean water.
SEDIMENT
Care must be taken not to stir the settled sediment back into the wine during racking and bottling. The use of a syphon hose attached to a rigid racking tube with an anti-lees tip is very helpful. A racking tube holder which clips on to the side of the fermenter also helps to eliminate the movement of the racking tube in the wine.
