Hi George,

Usually it takes around 24 hours for the potassium metabisulfite to return to levels healthy enough for fermentation to begin. If you think you have too much in there you can give it a good stir and mix in some oxygen. That will help dissipate the suflites more quickly. What are you using for your must? In other words is your wine from fresh fruit, a kit, or grocery store fruit juices or concentrates?

Cheers!

Matt

fruit wine yeast but fermentation would not start, another 3 days in waiting I added more yeast, still fermentation would not start. How long does it take for the PM to dissipate.
