So the directions state "If ageing past 6 months we suggest adding an extra 1/4 teaspoon of sulphite to the Primary Fermenter to prevent premature oxidation of the wine"
Any idea how many Campden tablets does that equal?
I've read various differing amounts for Campden. My supplier said - 1 tablet per gallon equals approx. 30 ppm free SO2. The WineMaker mag wizard says "If you've got a standard 0.44 gram Campden tablet and you're putting it in one gallon of wine, you're blasting it with 66 mg/L sulfur dioxide, which is quite a lot if you've already been adding a tablet each time you rack"
Confused in Portland!
