Description

Details

Potassium Metabisulphite (PMS) is used for sterilizing & stabilizing wines, or ciders.
It is an antioxidant and bactericide that releases sulfur dioxide into wine must.

Use 1/4 teaspoon per 23 Litres to add 50 ppm (for stabilizing)

Methods for Adding Potassium Metabisulfite:
  • Before Fermentation:
    Dissolve 1/3 teaspoon of potassium metabisulfite per 23L of juice to achieve a concentration of 50 ppm, and wait 24 hours before adding yeast. 
  • During Racking: 
    After each transfer of wine off the sediment (racking), add 1/4 teaspoon per 23L of wine to maintain proper sulfite levels. 
  • Before Bottling:
    You may want to add another 1/4 of teaspoon of potassium metabisulfite again before bottling to further protect the wine from oxidation and spoilage. Typically this would be done if the wine has been "bulk ageing" for 2-3 months or more.
    If you do decide to make this step then wait at least 48hrs before bottling. 
  • As a Sanitizer:
    A solution of 2 teaspoons per gallon of warm water can be used to sanitize equipment and bottles. 

*Always disolve in warm water prior to adding to must.
