K-Meta Dosage

[blackfin1]

Some confusion on the K-Meta dosages, I am looking to make a 3 gallon batch of strawberry and I would like to know how much k-meta to use. Some posts state 1/8 tsp per 1 gallon, others state 1/4 tsp per 5 gallons. THerefore, I think the answer is 1/8 tsp per 3 gallons.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You would be correct. The general dosing is 1/4 tsp per 5 gallons.

1/8th tsp per 3 gallons, 1/4 tsp per 6 gallons.

1/8th tsp per 3 gallons, 1/4 tsp per 6 gallons.

Well I think you need to read what is on the bottle, I believe different companies make different strengths. I have bought bottles that says 1/8 tsp per gallon and a different company that says 1/4 tsp per 5 gallon

For additional protection during the stabilization/degassing step, I've been using 1/2 tsp. per 6 gallons. I splash rack to a bucket where I perform all the stabilizing steps before racking back to the carboy. I then bulk age for several months. I'll check it after 3 or 4 months to determine the level and adjust (or not) accordingly.
