Young's Sodium Metabisulphite 100g

Young's Sodium Metabisulphite is a versatile powder for brewers and winemakers. Dissolved in water it makes a sterilising solution for equipment, and in smaller amounts it protects wine and cider from oxidation and spoilage.

Main uses

• Making a sterilising solution for fermenters, demijohns, bottles and syphons
• Protecting wine and cider from oxidation and spoilage
• The same active ingredient as Campden tablets, in loose powder form
• 100g pack

Using it

Dissolve in water as directed in the How to Use box and make sure the solution touches every surface.

Good to know

• It sterilises but does not clean, so remove dirt and deposits first with VWP (rinse well after VWP)
• The solution gives off sulphur dioxide, which has a sharp smell, so use it in a well-ventilated space
• Prefer a no-rinse option? ChemSan is a no-rinse sanitiser
• Wanting pre-measured doses for wine? Try Young's Campden Tablets

Who it's for

Wine and cider makers who like one product for both equipment and must, and traditional home brewers used to a sulphite solution.
