Potassium Metabisulfite

Thanks for your help and services

Potassium Metabisulfite

I use K2S03 to halt fermentation when fruit wines taste good to me. When the alcohol is above 10% and the flavor is good, it is time to move the wine to a secondary fermenter and add the potassium metabisulfite. Mix it in well and let it sit for a week, then filter and bottle.

I used this on apple cider. I filled four 6 gallon carboys with cider and had two days until I could actually make the batches of wine with them. The Pot. Meta. worked will, but I recommend to put it into the carboy early so it mixes well. I had not added it to the first one until it was nearly full and it started working on me by the next morning. I quadruple dosed it and mixed it in well, which shut down the fermentation. Later the juice worked well in fermentation so no issues.

Pretty straight forward
