I am starting another higher end red wine kit LE16 can franc kit, i noticed thos is the second high end red kit that i have bought recently that comes with the ec-1118 yeast, on lavilins website it says ec1118 are for sparkling and white wines and i have been reading on these forums that different yeast strains compliment red wines better than the 1118. I recently did the rjs wine makers trio with the 1118 but am looking to use rc 212 for this cab franc. I have never strayed from instructions before and need some proffesional help. 1. I noticed that the red wine kit says it may contain wild yeast, which would explain why the manufacturer is using 1118, and also the alchohal tolerance is higher with 1118, so my question is should i use the rc 212 which is suppose to compliment red wines better and finish off the fermentation with 1118 or 1116? If so can someone pmease tell me how to do this, i would appreciate any feedback or advice thank you
