Hi ,
The Campden tablets and stabiliser create a chemical reaction and would
have blown your bungs off. Leave the wine in a cool place bit I suggest
that you keep the airlock on for some time after stopping the wine or first
racking. It cetainly wont do the wine any harm.
I hope this is of help
regards
Peter
