SO2 Titration kit question

[Blackhawksfan98]

My kit I got states very clearly that if you have tannin in the wine the SO2 test could read higher than actual. With that being said, I used it and got a result of 50ppm. Which I believe is high.

The recipe I'm using is for 3 gallons. I added three crushed campden tablets up front. When I went to stabilize and prepare for clearing I added one more campden tablet, knowing my titration kit was inbound but had not arrived yet.

So the question, is the reading way off or am I actually high. If so what problems does that present. If not and its wrong, how do I test it?

That could be right as 3.5 tablets is essentially the equivalent of 1/4 tsp of k-meta which is good for 6 gallons. 50 ppm is really not that high and since its very early in this wine and nees to age you really have nothing at all to worry about.

How much is to much?
