5.0 / 5.016 ReviewsNo bottle bombs hereMy wife likes sweet wines, so I use this Potassium Sorbate to stop further fermentation so we don't get bottle bombs. No bombs in the 6 years I've been using it.

Fro sweet wine, without broken glassOccassionally I want a sweeter wine and I don't want to add sugar so I use Potassium sorbate. Potassium sorbate does not destroy wine yeast. You need to use a Campden tablet to stop the yeast and prevent bottle bombs.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

Use in my back sweetened ciderAfter my cider is done fermenting I like to back sweeten with juice concentrate before kegging. K Sorbate along with keeping it cold helps to stop the yeast from picking back up. Stuff works great.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

should be on your shelfDepending on what type of wine you make, you should have this available. If you want a sweeter wine, you will need it. You won't be able to get sweet wine without it. I use it when I need to sweeten wine.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

Lets me make sweeter wineI'm not fond of bone dry wine, I want them a little sweeter. But I don't want exploding bottles either. This is a good additive because I get both. Sweeter wine and no bottle bombs.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

Good for back sweeteningI add potassium sorbate before I back sweeten my meads and wine. This is the only way to add fermentables without them being consumed ending in bottle bombs.- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

Good for back sweetening wineI like my Riesling a little sweet so I add potassium sorbate before I add additional sugar to ensure the remaining yeast don't eat the sugar. Works great,- Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0)

a must have if you like a sweeter wineWe have used this potassium sorbate every year we have made our own wine. We tend to like a sweeter wine and add sugar to the finished product. You must add this or you risk the chance of exploding bottles. Well worth the few cents to add to your wine before bottling.You can also purchase the conditioner if you want to sweeten both sweetener and sorbate are together.- Was this review helpful?

if using glycerin to sweeten with, is it still necessary to add potassium sorbate?
