for the first time i have used campden tablets in my water and miss read the label as 1 tablet for 5 liters BUT its gallons so i put 4 in 20 liters of water luckily i realise my mistake an did not put any in the sparge water so it has got 4 in a 5 gallon of beer will this be ok to drink or will have to be binned :pray:

It won't be toxic, maybe a bit sulphurous(?) Worst case is that too much k-meta can prevent fermentation

If you did a full volume boil that might help drive off the by-products. Don't bin it, it could well turn out fine :)

{edit} I have a bit of experience with this. I don't buy Campden tabs, as I've got a big bag of sodium metabisulphite. So my k-meta addition is a bit of guesswork, and I know I put too much in one brew - it was fine, although looking back the FG was a bit high.
