I was thinking the Hive needed a little review of this procedure. What works, what dosn't ect.
This thread is a good primer. It appears that Sodium Bisulfite and Metabisulfite are prefered, possibly due to higher solubilities. However the Potassium salts also seem acceptable.
Here is the procedure from Rhodium for useing Sodium Bisulfite.

Good discussion, labgrrrl likes bisulfite

(boingo: "bisulfite questions", Chemistry Discourse)Fiendly Finger claims that Metabisulfite works, I assume its Sodium?

(Rhodium: "Re: OTC sodium bisulfite??", Chemicals & Equipment)In which Rhodium said
Merck Index:
Sodium bisulfite, NaHSO3.
The commercial product consists almost solely of sodium metabisulfite (Na2S2O5) and for all practical purposes possesses the same properties as the true bisulfite.
Here are some misc bisulfite posts
