This the same as Sodium Metabisulphite?(Does anyone know what Sam Mason does these days?)
These are not the same molecules. Sodium bisulfite is NaHSO3, and Sodium metabisulfite is Na2S2O5.But when you dissolve sodium meetabisulfite in water it becomes sodium bisulfite. It's more difficult to obtain sodium bisupfite, so it's often easier to substitute the desired weight of sodium bisulfite with 91.3% of this weight in metabisulfite to achieve the same concentration.
I picked up some sodium metabisulfite at the local homebrew store. In my mad rush to finish this recipe before heading out to work, I forgot to adjust the quantity of matabisulfite (91.3%) for this recipe based on your above suggestion. I used a total of 0.1% metabisulfite when I probably should have used 0.09%. Will this adversely affect the outcome?
No, that's not a significant error
will it work with apples or pears?
Hello! Great recipe. Quick question, will sodium bisulfite work with apples? I tried the ascorbic acid and it gave the apple a weird chemical smell and taste.
Thanks!
