I'm bulk aging a kit. I have added clarifier and racked it. It has been aging in the carbouy for 2 months. How often should I add potassium metabisulphite and how much should I add.

I am using a kit and I added the clarifier and I still have foam on the top. I aerated twice daily for 4 days with a drill before adding the clarifier. Is this still co2? and what can I do ?
