If the yeast has consumed all the sugar or the alcohol % got highenough to kill the yeast, you have nothing to worry about. After the wineclarifies in the fridge, pour it into another container being careful notto disturb the sediment in the original bottle. If the yeast is stillalive it may start fermenting again. If this happens you need to eitherleave the ez cap on the bottle, or periodically open the bottle to let thegasses escape. I've seen bottles with regular caps on for days in a warmroom without bursting but there is never a guarantee.As far as a campdem tablet's flavor, I don't know. I've neveradded chemicals to my wines.At 08:36 AM 8/26/2005 -0400, you wrote:>What sort of effect will the chemicals have on the taste of the wine?>I also am planning on taking some of mine on a upcoming trip and will>not be able to keep it refridgerated.
