I was told by Yooper to use 1/2 teaspoon of potassium sorbate and one campden tablet, per gallon of finished cider if I want to back sweeten my cider. Once it's in there and Iwaited a couple days, will the campden and potassium sorbate be perceptible when tasting the cider and if so, how long does it take to go away ?

thanks
 
General rule is 24 hours, but I can tell you, using Safale S-04 that I saw a large difference waiting 36+ hours. My yeast was much more active and the whole process seemed much better at 36 hours.
