What does wine tannin powder do?

It increases the astringency of your wine or cider. If a batch tastes a bit flat or soft, tannin is a simple way to add that slightly sharper, more noticeable character to the finished drink.

Can I use it in cider as well as wine?

Yes. This tannin powder can be used in winemaking and in cider making. It arrives in a resealable tub, so you can close it up again after you have taken what you need.

Wine Tannin
How to Use
Dose
¼-½ tsp per gallon
¼ white/rosé, ⅓-½ red
Fruit & flower
½ tsp per gallon
When
At the start

Used for: Gives body, structure and a little dry 'grip' to wines and ciders made from low-tannin fruit, flowers or juice - and helps them clear.

When: Usually in the must at the start. Small top-ups can be made after tasting, before bottling.

Step by step
1Measure for your batch and wine type (see the dose above).
2Dissolve in a little warm water or must - it can clump if added dry.
3Stir well into the must.
4Taste after fermentation and only add more if the wine still seems thin.
Good to know: Start at the low end - you can't take tannin back out. Wines made from red grapes, elderberries or sloes usually have plenty already.
