Colleagues:
On sulphiting: the more acid the must, the less sulphite is required. For
readings below a Ph of 3.5 or so, one tablet for every TWO gallons should be
plenty. Also, with really high quality yeast like Wyeast, the wild yeasts
should be pretty well overpowered, and with decent, well-washed apples, I've
had good luck omitting the sulphite entirely. But yes, sulphited juice is
scary for a week or so. Best advice I've had is to make sure your yeast is
truly active, pitch it, and leave everything the heck alone.
