What is this item used for?

This item is commonly used as a preservative and antioxidant in home brewing and wine making, as well as a sanitizer.

What should I do when using this item?

Always follow the directions provided with the item.

Do you have to rinse after sanitizing with this?

No, we don't rinse after using this.

Can this be used in a neti pot?

It says 'Food Grade' but I wouldn't recommend direct exposure to your nasal cavity. I use it for gold refining, nothing else.

Can this be added to lime juice to prevent browning?

Yes, this is an anti-oxidant and can reduce browning caused by oxidation.

Does it neutralize bleach?

It is a reducing agent, so anything that oxidizes like bleach, chlorine (the bleach solid is often used for water treatment), or ozone or peroxide, will react with this. From the Wikipedia article on the chemical 'It is used in the water treatment industry to quench chlorine residual.'

Can this be used for pickle, as in silver cleaning pickle?

Not sure, I used it for cleaning wine making equipment. Left some butter knives in solution for a week to hold down a blow off tube and it took the silver finish off the knives.

Can it be used for pickling a membrane in an RO system?

Yes, I did it from last year's maple season till this year's season and it worked perfectly.
