For which step are you asking? Yes, k-meta in step 4. Here is a link to the first post which has the recipe... http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/f2/dangerdaves-dragon-blood-wine-41825/

That's the recipe I am using, just wondering if there was any tablets needed at the beginning, just started it in primary, most everything calls for the addition to soak the first 24 hrs, just wanting to check its not a typo , sure is a pretty color,and it's just getting started,,,,,,

When I make it with commercialy frozen fruit I dont use the kmeta at the beginning of ferment as the fruit has been flash frozen. I believe this basically pasturizes it. If I used fresh fruit that I have frozen I use 1/4 tsp kmeta for 6 gal 24 hrs before pitching my yeast. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You are fine, just follow the instructions as they are written, at least for the first time, and you will be very pleased with the finished product. Then for your next, next, etc. you will probably start making tweaks here and there.
