I have been using campden tabs to treat my water for chlorine and I extract brew. I split 1 tab and it goes into the boil pot before I steep grains ( when used). After steeping the grain I'll add some extract and water to start a 3 gal. boil. I put remainder 1/2 tab in a jug, (1/2 gal +/-) of water to dissolve it. After cooling the brew pot to close to what ever pitching temp is and I put the wort into the fermenter. Then I will split the jug with the dissolved campden into 3 gal. jugs and fill them to as close to pitching temp as I can for top-off water.
So my question is this; Is the campden still effective when splitting and diluting as I described above? I assume it is but it's just a (silly?) question that popped into my head today.
Thanks and cheers,
