welches white grape/peach has k-meta in it

[chachi44089]

I kinda asked this already, but didnt title my thread right and only got one response. Which was ok, I just want to be sure. I have some welches white grape/peach that I was going to use for a batch and notice it has potassium metabisulfite in it. I know not to add any k-meta in the primary with this, but how should I handle the other ingredients..From what I have read I can mix it up without adding yeast and let it sit 24 hours before pitching yeast to allow the sulfites to dissipate. Do you think this is ok?

I think you will be fine to use this. There are several people who have used it with no problems, just wait 24 hours before you pitch.

Here is a thread on it.

I used welch's raspberry with had sulfites. I put it in my primary and mixed it up very well and waited 24 hours before pitching the yeast and it worked just fine. You should be just fine.

3 cans of welch's grape/peach
sugar to bring sg to 1.080, at least this
1 tsp nutrient
1/8 tsp tannin
Acid blend to .65% (test your acid first, then adjust)
water to one gallon

leave sit for 24 hours then add yeast, I used lavlin 71b1122. I racked about a week later, then racked as needed, not more than once a month. Once done, I backsweeten with 1 can of welch's grape/peach.

Make a starter for the yeast. Put a little warm water in a container, add a little sugar, some yeast energizer if you have it, and add the yeast. Then, start adding a little of your must. WAit a while and add a little more must, when your time is up pitch it all in the primary. should take off like a rocket. Will let you know if your yeast is good before you pitch it too. ARne.

If it bugs you, just get it hot on the stove first. I did this with my first batches of wine with Welch's to get the additional sugar to dissolve. Had no problems....for the most part...:/
