How come all of jack kellers recipes for welch's call for you to boil water and then add the concentrate to it?
Also, why don't they call for a campden tablet when cool?
I am of the thinking that I should add a campden if I boil it and I don't need to add it if I do not (because it already has sulfites for preservative). Does is matter?
Why not just put luke warm water in, add 4 cans of concentrate, adjust SG as needed and go straight into the carboy. Why boil it first?
Also, what is Sauterne Yeast? Can I use Cotes des Blancs for this? Seems it would be a good choice. I do not have Sauterne or Lalvin R2.
Thanks all.
