    Yeast crisis!!!!

    I just picked up my grapes barbera and cab sav. 50/50 blend. And my supplier failed to mention he was out of yeast. So now I am scrambling. Looks like I can get my hands on and use pasture red. Or Ec1118. Any suggestions??? I wanted rc 212

    Malolactic Fermentation - When is too late

    I was just about to ask this!!!! My ca batch was done end of oct and life just got crazy and I didn't mlb it but I also didn't sulfate either. So I think I will bring it in and let it warm up a bit and add my mlb. Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making

    Well yet another issue. My brix is 25 or so and the yeast I have is rc212. Didn't realize that it's only 12-14% alcohol tolerance. The only other one I have is ec1118 but that's not good for wine seeing a mlf. Guess pitch the rc 212. Then fermax dose day three and hope it finishes up. I am...

    That's the one I wanted to use until I saw the price. If I was doing a large batch no question but I am only doing 6-7 gallons and since I can't save it I feel it's wasteful. Waaaa Sent from my iPhone using Wine Making
