Am I right in saying I can treat tap water with Sodium Metabisulphate? If so how much per 5 gallons would be recommended?

Thanks

I wouldn't treat it with that, a campden tablet and Gypsum yes but not SMS.

Campden tablets are sodium metabisulphite aren't they? :wha:

Half a crushed Campden tablet or half a teaspoon of Campden powder should do you for a five gallon brew.

There's a big difference between campden powder and metabisulphite.

If you were to use metabisulphite you would need around one twentieth of a level teaspoonful to your 5 gallons. Half a CT is much easier.
