It causes the Chlorine compounds to break down and not cause my beer to taste like band aids. I split a tablet into two and crush it and add it when pouring my water into my HLT.

Stop wild yeast

Its useful for killing wild yeast and bacteria, or being able to sweeten your final product without causing an unwanted secondary fermentation.

New Jersey brewers need it

Half a tablet is good for a 5 gallon all grain batch. One full tablet is good for 20 gallons, and it's fast acting. I just crush it up and add it to my hot liquor tank as I'm heating the water. This container is good for years.

make good brewing water

It removes the Chlorine from the water so your beer doesn't takes like band aids. _x000D_It doesn't take much. I break a pill in half, and that's good for a 5 gallon brew.

From beer to wine making

I have been brewing all grain beer for 2 years now so I decided to try wine making. This product was used in my first 30 bottle batch. Wine tastes great but will have to wait to see if this works when I get to the 30th bottle....CHEERS!

Needed for beer brewing

If your water is treated with Chloramine you need these capsules to break it down. _x000D_If you don't your beer wont taste good. I split one capsule in half for 8 gallons of brewing water. I crush it up and mix it in and give it an hour. In this small quantity is adds almost no salts.

Needed where I live

The water is treated with Chloramine so I use half a capsule (crushed up) to take care of that. For brewers, I wish the capsules were half the size , so I wouldn't have to split them since they break unevenly.

No longer use

I stopped using sufides a couple of years ago. Some wine recipies go crazy with them using them at every stage. I "read" they can cause ED problems. I would rather boil than go through that mess.

Must have if you use tap water

After 2 batches that tasted funny, I decided to try one of these to eliminate any chloramine off-flavors. Compared to the first two, it came out awesome. I don't know if it was a fluke, but now I use these with all my tap water.

Removes Chlorine from brewing water

I use half a pill, crushed up for 7 gallons of brewing water. I mix it up so it dissolves. By the time I'm at mash temperature the capsule has done it's job and removed the Chlorine. You do have to crush it, to get it to dissolve.

Great multipurpose tab

I bought a pound when I realized these tabs were not a one trick pony. I use them for the standard purposes of killing wild yeast from my wine (1 tablet crushed per gallon) and preserving my wine (1 tablet crushed before bottling wine). Also for removing chloramine from my brewing water. (1/2 tablet crushed per about 5 gallons of water and wait 24 hours). These are also great because there is no measuring like is required the powder.

Wish I knew about these sooner

I had heard of campden tablets,but thought they were only for wine making. I wish I had found these sooner. I had been using a carbon filter in my refrigerator to remove chlorine from my brewing water. _x000D_I didn't realize that carbon filtering wasn't very effective on chloramine. _x000D_I use half a tab crushed in 5 gallons of tap water at the beginning of my brewing preparations. Less than 3 cents to remove the chloramine from my water. It transformed my homebrew.

Use with sparkling cider and skeeter pee

I usually add these when I force carbonate my skeeter pee and cider. I add a couple crushed tablets, stir it lightly. Transfer to a keg, carbonate for a couple weeks and fill my bottles using a bottle filler and very low pressure from the keg (2-3 lbs)_x000D_Works well and I can take the carbonated beverages wherever I want.

You need this

I crush 1 tablet per gallon of wine to preserve and prevent further fermentation. It also removes Chloramine if you use it for Brewing water, saving you money. So it has multiple uses.

Needed for wine making

I use it to kill off or at least hold down the growth of wild yeast and bacteria in my must. I crush 1 tablet per gallon. It also removes chlorine, so your wine will taste better.

Removes Chloramine

Many municipalities use Chloramine to treat their water, and it doesn't evaporate when left exposed to air. Use these Campden tables to remove it.

Gotta have it!

If you make wine you gotta have Campden tablets. 1-5 gallon batches are simple, 1 crushed tab per gallon to kill off bacteria, then the same before bottling to help stabilize. Pot Meta in powder form is fine too, but I feel more for the large wineries who need tons at a time.

Great for water prep.

I use these to remove that chloramine from my water before brewing. Just throw tap water (if it tastes good) into a bucket/carboy with a crushed tablet and in 24hrs your water will be ready to use. Save money on buying water. remember to crush the tablet before adding it as it is hard to dissolve.
