How much to measure ?!

[hector]

Hi there !

I'm going to ask my question as an Example :

Imagine I've crushed my red grapes and that yielded 2 Gallons of Juice .

As I added the crushed grapes to the Juice , the Volume was increased to 2.5 Gallons .

Now , if I'm going to add 10% Solution of K-Meta to the Must , how should I measure it ?

Should I measure the amount of K-Meta needed for 2 Gallons or for 2.5 Gallons ?!

If i were in your shoes, i would use 2 crushed campden tablets or 1/8tsp k-meta powder, depending on which you prefer.

1/4tsp k-meta is good for 5-6 gallons, so - roughly half it.
1 campden tablet per gallon, crushed.

I agree with Deezil, I woud use either tablets or powdered k-meta. Of those two I prefer the kmeta as it is easy to measure and dissolve. If you need an amount for gallon jugs just put 1/4 tsp in 5-6 ounces of water and dissolve. Then add 1 ounce of solution to each gallon batch.
