How long does Velcorin remain active?
Velcorin activity is based on its hydrolysis rate. Hydrolysis occurs when Velcorin reacts with water to form methanol and carbon dioxide. The rate of this reaction is dependent on the temperature of the wine. At 10C (50F) it takes approximately 4 hours for Velcorin to completely break down. At 21C (70F) break down occurs in about 2 hours.
