    campden tablets vs COMET cleaner

    the thing that beats me the most is, how do i take the lid off to push the cap down, tomorrow, without making the airlock suck the water into the must? should i document the SG every day? The cap was orange, the must was brilliant PINK/RED! the smell should be sold in aerosol. Can i taste?
