Hi! I'm a beginner wine maker, so I apologize now for my lack of terminology...
What exactly is K-meta and what different uses does it have?
Thanks!
I'm a beginner also, so I'm sure some of the more experienced people will correct me if I'm wrong...
K-meta = Potassium Metabisulphite, it has many uses...if you're making fruit wine, you can add it to the must about 24hours before pitching the yeast to retard any natural wild yeast starting early fermentation. It's also used as a preservative, when you're ready to clarify and bottle. I also use it as a sanitizer (in stronger doses) for any equipment I use to make wine.
I believe camden tablets are a bit more concentrated then the powdered k-meta...hopefully someone will chime in with the conversion factor...
Peace,
Bob
