Description
Metabisulfite (Metabs) serves as a preventive measure against biological spoilage and the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. Its antioxidant properties contribute to increased stability and an extended shelf life for beer.
Additionally, Metabs proves useful for eliminating free chlorine present in tap water, which has the potential to cause chlorophenolic off flavors in beer.
Furthermore, Metabs can be utilized to preserve the freshness of empty casks during storage.
