    I seem to recall that you add a campden tablet every other racking, not every one.

        ONLY if it's finished fermenting! If racking to get off the lees and it's still going, then adding sulphite will hinder the fermentation process.

            You need to check the specific gravity, if you get the same reading over 3 days it should be done fermenting.
