I also pop some into DJ's and carbuoys with a stopper in, and it keeps it sanitised until i need them, I also use it in the vinator (bottle rinser)
so it's useful stuff.
Just put 100g of sulphite powder into a jug and top up to 1 litre (isn't the metric system just great.....1 litre water = 1 kilo, so if it contains 100g os sulphite, then its 10% solution)
hope this helps
