You might be amazed at the level of misinformation about winemaking.Potassium metabisulfite (K-meta), the active ingredient in Campden tablets, releases SO2 into the wine, which acts as I mentioned above. A tablet produces 50-60 ppm in 1 US gallon, so a normal dosage for 6 gallons is 6 tablets. The amount you added would not make the yeast raise an eye brow, if it had one.If you're making large batches, buy K-meta powder. It's cheaper than tablets and you don't have to crush it. The standard dosage is 1/4 tsp in 19-23 liters of wine (5-6 US gallons).Regardless how this batch turns out, don't be discouraged. Do your reading before the next batch, and things will go easier.All of us who have replied to your post all have decades of experience, yet all of us are continuing to learn. There's always something more.
