Hi, I've read some confusing information. This is from online instructions for wine making from fresh juice buckets:
"To kill the wild yeast found in grape juice, add 1 campden tablet per gallon or ¼ tsp. of metabisulphite to 6 gallons of juice. Allow the juice to sit for six to twelve hours before adding yeast."
Another website states something similar: http://blog.eckraus.com/a-simple-guide-to-metabisulfites
Campden tablets come as sodium metabisulphite or potassium metabisulphite. The ones I have at home are potassium and 1/4 tsp equals to about 2 tablets, not 6.
Can someone please let me know what I should be adding if my campden tablets are potassium metabisulphite? Is it 1/4 tsp (about 2 crushed tablets) or one tablet per gallon (6 tablets)
Thank you!
