Adding crushed campden tabs without diluting

Does anyone add sulfite (crushed campden tabs or Potassium Metasulfite) directly to their wine without diluting in water? I was in a rush and didn't have time to do the dilution and added directly to my barrel. I imagine there isn't huge risk with sanitation and it will just take more time to dissolve and distribute itself in the wine. Are those assumptions way off. Too late now either way but i'm curious.

Every time. Crush with two spoons and dump it.

Ok, glad I'm not the only one. I have $1500 invested in this batch and was a little worried!

The only thing might be how dissolved it gets. I use a pill crusher but that still leaves little chunks that looks like a powder. I dissolve in water only to get the chunks broken up even smaller. Even if there were small chunks, if the entire batch is in a barrel I would expect that over time it would completely disperse and do its thing.
