Hi, I am just starting a new must and started wondering after I've added the crushed campden tablet to the must... The
recipes I base my wines on all suggest you give 12 - 24 hours after using the campden tablet and before adding pectic
enzyme. Obviously they say this for a reason.

However, I was wondering is pectic enzyme really that badly affected by the campden tablet? It isn't a living
substance, but I'm sure its possible for sulfite to retard other chemical processes.

I'm happy to wait, but has anyone had experiences of using pectic enzyme sooner than that after adding the crushed
campden tablet? Or do y ou know why the delay is required anyway?

Many thanks for any information as always, Jim
