I've been trying to sort out relationship and define what each chemical is"
Campden Tablets= Potassium Metabisulfite(K-Meta) in tablet form which stops yeast from multiplying, you use it in the beginning to stop any wild yeast from multiplying - you use it after fermentation to stop any added yeast from multiplying = it stops any yeast from multiplying.
Now, here is where I am confused, "Sorbate", is that just another way of saying Potassium Metabisulfite, K-Meta, Campden Tablets?
If not, Please explain.
