Wine bottling advice

[Gottheilj]

Please provide guidance on how much campden/potassium metabisulfite to dose one gallon of wine prior to bottling.

Assuming you don't know your ph, one campden tablet very finely crushed, mixed with some water/wine is the general dosage. There is probably a weight measurement of potassium metabisulphite that would be the same, but I don't know what that is.

I use 1 crushed campden tablet for 1 gallon of wine.

If I am doing 3 -4 gallons, I use 1/8 tsp potassium metabisulphite (Kmeta) (if it's closer to 4 gallons, I use a heaping 1/8 tsp).

If I am doing 5 or 6 gallons, I use 1/4 tsp Kmeta.

Another option is to dissolve 1/4 tsp K-meta in 5 Tbsp water, then add 1 Tbsp to each gallon. I do this when I have multiple 1 gallon jugs.

However, if you have Campden, going with 1 tablet per 1 US gallon / 4 liters is the easier choice.
