Do i need to add campden tablets?

[nottsbrewer]

I have just siphoned my cider to a pressure barrel for the second fermentation and was wondering if I should have added some campden tablets?

All my kit was sterilised and the cider tasted ok, if a little yeasty

Cheers

No need to add them

The only time you want to add them is when you want to kill off the critters. If you kill them now, it won't ferment anymore.

cheers, i was wondering if the yeasty taste was due to not using them
