How long should I wait to add yeast?

Hello, I added a Camden tablet to my fresh fruits yesterday and juiced them this morning. how long should I wait until I add the yeast? I ask because I don't want the Camden tablet killing the yeast..

Put the crushed campden tabs in the must, wait 12 hrs (or so), add the pectic enzime if you are using it, wait another 12 hours (or so), add the nutrient, energizer, tannins, check acid, (If using these chemicals) and add the yeast. Good luck with it, Arne.

Oops I put the yeast nutrient in right after the Camden tablets :S already checked acid before I even added any chemicals, and added acid blend then added Camden tablets then added yeast nutrient all within 30 minutes.

So I guess the Camden tablet killed everything? I'm going to go ahead and take another sample and hope it didn't kill the acid blend, yeast nutrient I will go ahead an just add more just to be safe

It killed the acid blend.. I am reading as .30% titration. Which was what it was before I put acid blend in yesterday. So I am going to add acid blend up to .60% titration

Why would the campden tablet "kill" the acid blend? I don't think it would have any impact on the acid blend.

Not sure it would impact the yeast nutrient, either.

Hmm.. I don't know actually lol. But it read .30% titration this morning so I added more acid blend >.<
