Hello,
Currently I have been doing all my sanitizing with bleach. However I am doing a batch of Apfelwein and my LHBS sold me some K-Meta. He told me to mix it in the ratio on the package and put a small amount in my carboy..about a litre, shake it around to ensure contact with all surfaces then either dump or save for later. A few questions.
-Do I need to do this in a ventilated area? I heard that this stuff gives of some nasty gasses.
-Do I need to let it sit in the carboy for a while.
-I also want to sanitize my funnel, bung and airloc...is this the same...just make sure it contacts?
Any other advice with this stuff would be great.
Dave
