how many PPM does it take to santize ?
following formula:
grams of metabisulfite to add = ______ppm x 0.00657 x _______gallons of wine, juice or must
Thus, for a 50 ppm addition to 5 gallons of wine, you will add: 50 x 0.00657 x 5 = 1.64 g of metabisulfite.
taken from = http://accuvin.com/pHSO2Links.pdf
1/4 tsp = 1.6 grams of meta according to my books.
my caculation would be in 3 tablespoon would = 19.2 grams of equal sulfite and citric acid ( to drop down the ph between 3-4 , similiar to wine )
that means you would have 2922 PPM , is that correct ? how much ppm do you need to santize ?
here is another great link explaining it better
