The more research I do the more questions I have. I'm curious as to how detailed and specific you guys get when calculating how much sulfites to add.
I've been erring on the side of caution, and round down with my ballpark numbers to make sure I don't overdo it (until I get an so2 test kit that is).
Basically my question is how do you guys decide on sulfite amounts without free so2 testing? I know the pH level, and I know I need above average amount of free so2 since I am trying to save a batch that had bacteria growth.
