Hello Everyone,
I have a 10 pound CO2 tank that I use specifically for racking (so far only meads and beers as I just recently made my first wine), force carbing bottles (using a Carbonator), gettingan initial seal on my corny kegs, and topping off carboys. In perusing the forum, I've run across many postings about how much K-Meta to use, when to use it, etc., etc. .....
The general consensus (I think?) is to add a 1/4 tsp. before bottling, and IF you decide to bulk-age, add another 1/4 tsp. every 3-4 months to keep the SO2 levels up. Is this correct?
In any event,my specific question is this: When bulk aging will I need to add additional K-Meta even if I blanket the top of the carboy with CO2?
Thanks again (this is an awesome site!),
