  To tell you the truth I have been using 2 tbsp per gallon for years and have never had an issue
  so I am thinking the package is correct. If all else fails read the directions. hahaha

• Posted in thread: Clearing Question on 12-21-2012 at 12:27 AM
  I agree not to bottle cloudy wine. I would get some superclear and use it. They will clear

  primary so if ...

• Posted in thread: "Red Star" yeast on 12-21-2012 at 12:22 AM

  even with wi...
