Hi,
One of my meads never got going, and I'm now pitching Wyeast Dry Mead instead of the sweet that never started. It's been standing for three days now, so I was just wondering if I should treat it with campden tablets (actually, I got the equivalent powder), and if so - how much.

Cheers!

Medsen: In three days, it went from 1.108 to 1.105, which might as well be an air bubble or two on that gravity meter thingy...

Thanks to both of you. I just pitched the yeast in with no starter and no campden anything, and it's now going like crazy :)
