Cellar Craft CC Sauvignon Blanc 6 Week Kit

[admiral]

Today I started the Sauvignon Blanc 6 week kit. It was an easy, straight forward start. The only difference from most starts was that there were two packages of yeast. Does anyone know why?

Probably just inadvertently put an extra one in there. Can't imagine that it would take 2 packs. But then, some people have a different or better imagination than I....

Well, if it was extra, its in the mix. So, what effect will it have?

Thanks!

Wow, this fermented to .992! I racked, stabilized, degassed, and added clarifying agents yesterday afternoon. This morning, it is absolutely clear except for some remaining CO2 bubbles. (This wine held lots of CO2). I am going to let it rest for a couple of weeks, then rack to a glass carboy when one becomes available and put the pump on it to degas.

By the way, ABV on this is 12.4%

Mike, that is the truth.

Love those little yeastie beasties.
