I add KMeta to my strike and sparge water. I've calculated the equivalent amount of the 1/x tablet per 5 gallon rule of thumb and it turns out be an unmeasurable (on my scale) fraction of a gram of the powder per the amount of water I use in sparge and strike. So I just use a dusting in each pot. I think it was DJ who had the great idea to fill a salt shaker with Kmeta and just put a dash into the pot. You don't need a lot of the stuff. I've had a small jar for almost 2 years, and that includes 3 wine batches. Wine uses a lot more of it.Edit... should've read better. Use Kmeta next time. For this batch... just drink it. It's better than the crap you can buy in the south anyway. :scratch:

How can I hang one of those stainless tea balls in the keg? I was thinking fishing line?

RE the stainless can stay in there for as long as it takes for the flavor you want to develop. Taste every few days and pull it out when the flavor is almost where you want it. Fishing line works well, just sanitize evrything
