Two day ground shipping once again from DFW. Nothing going East evidently! Dropped off on the front porch by 9:30AM. Kit comes with ~3oz of oak powder. Supplied yeast is QA23 (2 packs in my box). Nice "Mardi Gras" looking labels as well!
Lalvin QA23 is a specially selected dry active yeast that is used for the fermentation of fresh, fruity white wine. Particularly suitable grape varieties are Muscat, Muller-Thurgau, Gutedel and Savignon Blanc.
Lalvin QA23 shows an advantageous fermentation curve with high final degree of fermentation. Wild yeasts and undesirable bacteria are suppressed. It does not generate undesirable fermentation by-products such as SO2, H2S, acetaldehyde, pyruvate, ketoglutaric acid, volatile acid or ester.
Lalvin QA23 can produce up to 14% alcohol by volume. The practical alcohol yield is approximately 47% of the sugar to be fermented. For each kg of sugar fermented, approx. 546kJ of heat is released.
