Just got my 2014 Juice Buckets

[carlb]

I just got back from Procacci Brothers in South Philly. I purchased 2 Juice buckets from them last year a Merlot and a Riesling both of which came out very good. I used EC-1118 on both of them

Today I picked up a bucket of each of the following Regina juice buckets.

Barolo
Cabernet Sauvignon
Chateauneuf Du Pape
Merlot
Riesling

I plan on using RC 212 on the reds and D47 on the Riesling. I do understand that the rc212 is quite needy in the nutrient area and plan to carefully add additional yeast nutrient during ferment.

Some people say at 50% sugar depletion some say at 33%

Any suggestions as to the yeast and the addition of Nutrient would be greatly appreciated.

Should I add yeast nutrient before pitching yeast as well?

Thanks

Carl

I've used RC212 on several wines and usually add nutrient at about 1/3 depletion.

Where are they getting Chateauneuf du Pape? I'd make the drive to Philly for that.

Hi Jim

It's on the list for the California buckets that come thru Luva Bella. I ordered one also, along with 4 other goodies.
