I originally was simply cleaning and sanitizing my Corny Kegs....and then I got an Infected batch that I am pretty sure was from the Keg.
Now I disassemble, clean, sanatize and replace the dip tube seals before kegging every batch. Being in NJ the seals are DIRT cheap from McMaster Carr. Quad...

The first addition was 1/4 + 1/16
The second week later addition was 1/4 + 1/8
I have read 1/4 tsp is about 40 - 45 ppm in 5 gallons
Therefore 50 ppm was...

I got 5 gallons of cider to ferment. When friends of mine picked it up they added 1/16th tsp/gallon of Potassium MetaBisulfite
About a week later when I got it I used a thief to collect 1200ml heated it to 80F in a sanitized flask and then pitched yeast
I added 3/8 tsp more and allowed it...
