I am new to the idea of killing yeasties and such(kegging and force carbing). What are the best things for me to start searching/researching?? I've been out of the game for awhile and I have forgot some things. Help!!
Campden tablets. Doesn't kill the yeast, but will inhibit it's growth...which is really all you're after here. It's commonly used in wine making.
Campden has no effect on yeast.
Really? I thought it did, or at least it inhibited their ability to grow. I thought that's why you needed to wait 24 hours after treating your water with campden prior to pitching.
Good to know.

I thought Campden tablets are potassium metabisulfite or sodium metabisulfite.
But either way, Campden or any other stabilizer used in wine making should work for you.
