Too much k-meta I must?

[Vaudun]

So, I started a new must yesterday. 15 lbs of peaches, 6 lbs of sugar, 3½ gallons of water. All together, it comes to 6 gallons in my primary.

The instructions on my k-meta say ¼ tsp/6 gallons of must. However, I think I actually grabbed ½ tsp and dumped it in.

My question is: is this salvageable?

My thought is maybe wait an extra day before I throw my yeast, but I just wanted to get some input before moving forward.

I agree it might be a good idea in waiting an extra day to pitch the yeast. I’m sure others with more experience will be chiming in.

Commercial yeast can handle higher amounts of K-meta than wild yeasts, so you should be fine.

I'd stir the must a couple times per day and wait until tomorrow to inoculate.

OK, thanks guys. That's what I figured. Just wanted to confirm.
