Did I ruin my wine? I added the yeast at the same time as adding the campden tablets. Did I kill the yeast?!
I will wait about 12 hours and if it hasn't started fermenting, would it be safe to add another yeast packed in!? is two yeast packets too much for 5 gallons of wine!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

The wine is fine!.Campden tablets will kill all yeasts for about 24 hrs!.After 24 hrs just add another packet of yeast!.You should add more yeast anyway to assure you have a good healthy yeast strain going in your juice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I doubt you'll get any fermentation, as the whole point of the camden tabs is to KILL the yeast to stop further fermentation!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yup!. You killed the little fellers!. Not to worry!. Wait a day or so after adding the campden tablets and then re-pitch with more yeast!. No big deal!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
