Products to use for sanitation

[humuluslupulus]

Hey everyone,

I am making cider for the first time using hand-pressed pear juice from a farm near to me. What is a good chemical(s) to use to make sure the juice is safe and for clarification? (I know the usage of Starsans/PBW and such for cleaning vessels, but I meant for the fruit itself). Thanks!

Potassium Metabisulfite (aka K-Meta) will sanitize the fruit. If you have Campden Tablets, you can crush 1 for each gallon of wine you're making and use that..
