Re: The current thinking on Sulfites, G-Tannins, AA and scavenging
The bad part about relying on SBT is that you can't shrink your sulfite dose without also shrinking your tannin dose. The way we use SMB/AA and gallotannin, they fulfill completely different purposes - the gallotannin is largely there to shut down the catalytic oxidation pathway by chelating metals, whereas the SMB/AA (+degassing) is there to inhibit the enzymatic pathway because we don't have a targeted way of denaturing polyphenol oxidase, LOX, peroxidase, etc. without causing collateral damage, i.e. denaturing the amylase enzymes as well.
If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always gotten.
