tannin powder instead of liquid

[afss]

Can any one tell me what the ratio or conversion is. I have a recipie that calls for liquid but i can only easily get powder tannin.

thanks

Use what posted on the label. I would also go according to your taste for tannin. It's a personal thing. Remember you are making wine for yourself to your taste.

Usually it's 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per gallon. Ere on the lighter side as taking tannin out is difficult. Where did you get your recipe? We have many here on our home page under recipes. Check them out and compare.

i got it here, it called for 1.5 tsp of liquid for the 5 gallon mix. The dry powder does not have directions for the amount to add

Follow what Steve said. I would start LOW like 1/2tsp per gal

i went with 1 tsp for 5 gallons, we will see

How was amount of tannin powder?

How did the tannin come out? I'm reading up, and it looks like a guess for my Cab Sav is 2 tsp / 5 gal. Thanks
