How much sulfites should I add at each racking ?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NB : I am using MetaBiSulfites and 7 liters of wine must.
(lost a lot along the way)

1st racking, right after the end of the Malolactic conversion.
Need to add : 50 (mg/l ) x 7 (liters of wine) x 2 ( metaBIsulfites ) x 1.5 ( half of sulfites has been lost since we added some ) = 1.050g ( 1.050g in fact ) of metabisulfites

2nd racking, 2 month later.
Need to add : 25 (mg/l) x 6 (liters of wine, lost a bit through transfers) x 2 ( metaBIsulfites ) x 1.5 ( half of sulfites has been lost since we added some ) = 450 mg of metabisulfites

3rd and final racking, 2 months later.
Need to add : 25 (mg/l) x 5 (liters of wine, lost a bit through transfers) x 2 ( metaBIsulfites ) x 1.5 ( half of sulfites has been lost since we added some ) = 375 mg of metabisulfites
