RJ Spagnols Super Tuscan & Red Star Pasteur

[Bacci]

I subbed the 1118 yeast out on my RJS Super Tuscan with Red Star Pasteur, usually always ferment in 10 gallon with Cellar Craft kits but thought Winery Series would fit easily in 7.9 fermentor. Cutting it too close for comfort on day 2, temp range has been 72 - 78. Maybe it was all that untoasted oak and the kit came with two med-sized grape pack jugs instead of the single larger one. Has anyone else had experience with foaming/aggressive fermentation with Red Pasteur? SG started at 1.107 curious to see how fast it eats away.

I have no experience with that yeast strain.

Set that bucket in a tub to keep from messing up the floor. Better keep it stirred down as much as possible.

Better still, pour the whole thing into your ten-gallon fermenter.
