Hi all, help wanted for sulfites and bottling...
Wondering how late or soon it is for bottling. i syphoned an 11.5L carboy into 2 x 5L demjohn's yesterday and added 1/4 teaspoon of ascorbic acid and 1 campden tablet however there was a slight fizz to it so i thought bugger bottling that now (corking). It had bentonite during fermentation so i needed to get it off the large sediment.
how long can i wait before i need to add campden tablet again, this is the 1st syphoning for this batch. if i bottle in 1 week can i get away with adding no more campden tablets, or even if i bottle in 2 weeks can i get away with no more campden tablets? or should i add 1/2 a tablet after 3 weeks to be safe when i bottle?
Id rather add no more if i can get away with it but dont want to wait more than 3 weeks to bottle.
As for corking i use a floor corker.
Thanks
