Does the job for my beers
Purchased for removing chlorine and chloramine from mash/brewing water. Works as it should. 1/2 tab to treat 5 gallons of water seems fine.
Works great and as described
Added the tablets to a tank of wine that was stale tasting. The tablets saved the wine. The postage was more than the cost of the tablets
These are an indispensable part of my wine making.
Works perfectly for removing chloramine and chlorine.
worked well. will order again.
My city water is treated with chloramines, so I bought some of these. They are easy to use and cheap.
Instead of buying bottled or packaged spring water, you can convert your municipal tap water into a more ideal profile using this to remove chloramine. I have noticed fewer off flavors and a saison made with this came out great!
I was having off flavors with some of my beers using local tap water even though I have a whole house filter system. It is just a sediment filter to remove large particles. I found out that many water supplies use chloramine for purification of water and that might have been the culprit. Since using a single campden tablet in my brew water for up to 10 gallons(I think it can be used for up to 20 gallons), my beers have all seemed to be better.
As others noted this is part of my water regimen to prevent any chloramine.
I always crush one of these up and treat my water on brew day. It works instantly and is way too cheap to not use and risk chloramine off favors.
I am fortunate to have very good tasting water. However, I can smell a slight bit of chlorine/chloramine. So, I simply crush one of these as the instructions state and then proceed normally. My first couple of batches I did not use these and the beer tasted fine. But it is a very small cost to ensure that the chlorine/chloramine don't impact the taste of your brews. So, I now use them on all batches.
i brewed a ipa that came out with a heavy chemical taste. I am not sure if it was something or if it is a result of trying to treat my water. I used a quarter Campden tablet in my mash water. quarter tablet in my sparge water.. i didnt let the tablet set for any length of time. i started brewing right away with it.. Havent used campden tablets after that. Whats your campden story?
I use Campden tablets to remove chloramine. I'm currently brewing with half tap water and half distilled with brewing salts added to hit whatever water profile I need. Approx. 1/4 tablet in the mash and and 1/4 tablet in my sparge water. I've not had that result in a chemical taste to date.
Campden tablets remove chlorine from tap water. Determine how much water you will require--let's say 10 gallons for an all grain brew. The day prior to brew day--fill up a 10 gallon container from your tap crush a campden tablet(s)* and stir into the tap water. Let sit overnight then brew with the chlorine free water for your brew session. Compare it to some of the beers you made without removing the chlorine and see if you can perceive the difference. *The Campden tablet package should tell you how many gallons one tablet will treat--dose accordingly.
can sodium metabisulphite used in place of potassium metabisulphite in the stabilization process?
How much would you add to one gal. milk jugs? I have multiple jugs in storage.
Fred Put all the water into a five gallon container or larger and add a half of a Camden tablet to the water. Stir until dissolved and then put the water back into your one gallon containers.
I wouldn't. I would store the water in a cool dry price away from direct and indirect sunlight until I was ready to use it. Worth bearing in mind plastic breaks down over time and leeches things into the water. Also being plastic; it is semi-porous. Meaning even very well cleaned you can still wind up with things living in the slightly abraded surface. If storing pre-pared water over long periods consider glass or a properly graded plastic for long term potable water. tl;dr: Cut into quarters best you can with a razor blade and drop one in each jug.
Hello Fred 1 tab is sufficient for 5-20 gallons. For a 1 gallon vessel you will only need to use a small piece of 1 tab.
what is the amount of active sodium metabisulfite per tablet? I know it can range by manufacturer. Is it listed on the package?
These add 75 ppm of sulfites at the rate of one tablet per gallon. Must be ground up prior to use.
