Brewer notes

Antioxidant used in some wine and beverage processes. It is not a substitute for sound oxygen control and can become counterproductive without appropriate sulfite management, so follow a validated wine-making process. This catalogue entry places it in the secondary stage; confirm that timing against the specific product and recipe.
