Recommended Dosage: Bench trials recommended for wine

• Juice: 300–800 ppm (30–80 g/hL) (2.5–6.7 lb/1000 gal)
• Wine:  200–600 ppm (20–60 g/hL) (1.67–5.0 lb/1000 gal)

Usage: Slowly add NO[OX] in 10 times its weight of clean, chlorine-free water, mixing constantly until suspension is homogeneous. There must be no lumps in the suspension. Depending on amount of NO[OX] to rehydrate this can take up toone hour. NO[OX] is insoluble, so it is essential that solution is mixed during addition. Rack once lees are well settled.
