Do I Need Campden Tablets for my Mead?

[OregonMEAD]

Hello all,

I don't use campden tablets, and I've recently been reading about them. I sanitize all my equipment before use when making mead.

I also filter my mead after the fermentation period to remove all yeast.

Is there an instance where I need to add campden tablets to my process?

Thanks for the help.

Does your water contain chlorine and/or chloramines? If so, they should be removed, and campden is the easiest way to do that.

No, I only use distilled water for my sanitizing and fermenting process.
