They said to pitch both at the same time....one type will bring out the different varietal character of the grapes and visa versa! Rob

Just picked up this kit today...comes with 2 packs of yeast, EC-1118 and RC 212, 60g medium french oak chips....looking forward to getting this one going!

OK, Thanks! Rob

Hey Joe, Where do you get those containers to hold tour carboys? What's the dimensions? Been lugging mine around by holding bottom and around neck for the last 25 years...might be pushing my luck!

Already!....Awesome!! :HB

Forgot to mention these were all Wine Expert kits.

All of the LE's that I have made in the last few years have been 18L. Hope this helps! Rob

Can't comment on the Eclipse kits....I've yet to make one, but I can tell you that all of the WE LE's I have made have been very good. Aging is the key! Rob

I'm sure you will be fine! Just bottled 2 batches of these the last couple weeks....I agree these are very good wines and will only get better. :ib Rob

I've bottled 1000's of bottles of wine over the years and never had a problem with spoilage, have aged them from 6months to 4 years. I have never used k-meta to sterilize, just rinse them good right after drinking put them in a case lined with paper towels upside down to dry. I will check before...

4Ft Crawlspace! :D

Who is LHBS? Thanks,Rob

Mine is doing well also, will rack for the second time this weekend. Smells wonderful, just don't know which yeast did the work...or maybe both! Will do!...Let me know how yours is coming along, I'll do the same. Rob

I also got that info from their website so I asked the retailer 3 or 4 times are they sure that they come with nothing, she was quite adamant about it. I'm going to try and contact Mosti Mondiale about this. Thanks for the info! Rob
