SO₂ Calculator

Estimate a potassium metabisulfite (K-meta) addition from measured free SO₂ and a chosen target. The result is a starting point, not a safety or microbial-stability guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

Is the same free-SO₂ target right at every pH?

No. Molecular SO₂ depends strongly on pH. Use a reputable winemaking reference and measured pH to choose a target.

Will all added SO₂ remain free?

No. Some binds or is lost. Re-test free SO₂ after the addition and follow the product label.
