: : Oxidation will not be a problem, as a matter of fact small amounts of oxygen are beneficial during the earlier stages of fermnentation. You may need to agitate your wine again if the smell is still there. When you agitate your wine you can add 1/4 teaspoon of potassium metabisulphite. This will help remove the rotten egg smell and prevent oxidation. : Thanks Bill,I plan on agitating a couple more times, 3 to 5 days apart. The first agitation seemed to help a little. I cought it pretty early. The smell is not overwelming. I can smell the good wine smell as well. : I am also making 5 gallons of Syrah using Alexanders concentrate. I used the grape pulp from my grape 5 gallon along with the concentrate. What do you think of that approach, and have you ever used the Alexanders concentrate??
