Default Bottle Sanitizer

I normally use a commercial sanitizer. I have seen a lot of recipes for a
sanitizing solution using K Metabisulfate and some form of acid like citric,
and I've seen different ratios used. So, would 1 teaspoon K Metabisulfate
and 1/2 teaspoon citric acid to 1 gallon of H2O work as a non-rinse
sanitizer for bottles? All measurements are US.

Thanks,

John

I use three tablespoon for kmeta and 1 of citric for a sanitizer. As
long as you let your bottle sit for a while I don't believe it will add
any appreciable amount of SO2.
