I am making my first batch of wine, crabapple, and accidentally added
2 campden tablets per gallon (6 gallons) instead of 1. I waited 24
hours before adding the yeast. It has been in for about 24 hours and
hasn't started working yet. Should I throw this batch out and start
over?


What I would do is stir it vigorously for a few minutes then leave for a
while. Repeat a few times during the say. This may help drive off the
excess sodium metabisulphite. I would then leave it overnight before
adding a fresh yeast starter. Hopefully it can be saved.
