I use 1/4 tsp for five gallons. So I'd mix it in bulk, then bottle.

i think my bottle says 1/8 tsp per gallon, also make sure your jars dont leak air, if they leak enough the wine could oxidize and turn to vinegar..

Don't use that much, 1/4 tsp per 6 gallons gives you 75 ppm of free SO2.

correction 1/8 tsp per gallon is 100ppm sorry i misread, also commercial allowance is 200ppm
