potassium metabisulfite

[Grantnw]

Good morning everyone!

This morning I finished racking over my cider after 3 weeks fermenting and some clearing. I added my potassium sorbate and I'm going to add postassium meta, on the sorbate I usually wait 72 hrs to do anything with it, is the same time frame for the Post. Meta?

No- you add the k-meta and the sorbate at the same time, together.

Yep, understand that part just wondering on wait time before back-sweetening and drinking. If any.

You add them both together, and wait at least three days. Sweeten, and wait another three days (to make sure fermentation doesn't restart), and then bottle.
