Campden Tablet

A Campden tablet is a small tablet used in winemaking and brewing to prevent spoilage. It contains potassium metabisulfite, which acts as a preservative by killing unwanted bacteria and wild yeast, ensuring that the fermentation process goes smoothly. It also helps protect the flavor and quality of the final product. Typically, one tablet is dissolved in a small amount of water and added to a gallon of wine or beer before fermentation begins. Campden tablets are essential for hobbyists and professionals alike to maintain the integrity of their alcoholic beverages.
