Hi all,

How bad is it that I put too much potassium metabisulphate when bottling? I added enough for 6 gallons in 2 gallons...

Thanks for the help

Thanks!
It does taste a little chemically, which I thought was odd because I was under the impression potassium metabisulphate is tasteless. I already corked them, so I'll just let them age. I guess my main concern was if they were safe. Can too much make it dangerous to drink?
