BrewMaster Sodium Metabisulphite 275g

Sodium Metabisulphite is a sulphur based compound that is used primarily to sterilise wine and cider making to kill bacteria and to inhibit the growth of most wild yeast.

It can also be used to eliminate both free chlorine and the more stable form, chloramine, from water.

One gram of metabisulphite will impart approximately 60 parts-per-million of sulphur dioxide (SO2) to each litre of wine.

As a guide, to sanitise wine must add 0.2 g of metabisulphite per litre of juice. Pre-dissolve it in a small quantity of water before adding to the must. Allow the must to ventilate in an open container for 24 hours before adding yeast.

It can also be used as a dependable all-round powdered sanitiser suited to almost any brewing or distilling setup. Ideal for those who want a classic sulphite-based sanitising method that is effective, economical, and widely used in home brewing. Helps prevent spoilage by controlling wild yeast and bacteria.

Instructions for use as a sanitiser:

Wash cleaned equipment in a solution of 50 g Sodium Metabisulphite to 4.5 L of warm water. Allow equipment to stand for 30 minutes to dry, then rinse with clean cold water.

Ingredients: Sodium Metabisulphite 100%.
