    Do you/they have a press? A refractometer? Everything you’ve stated above sounds good.

    Cherry Wine Yeast Suggestion

    I have used both. I preferred the wine with the 71B. EC1118 is a powerhouse and will vigorously ferment most musts with little issue. 71B converts some of the malic acid and is a gentler ferment which I have found leaves more fruity aromas in the wine where as 1118 tends to blow them out with...

    Fresh pineapple wine

    I make mine with the skin included unless it looks nasty.

    I have 500 lbs of blueberries to experiment with

    Skip the camdem tabs and weigh out kMeta (potassium metabisulphite) for increased accuracy. If you use sorbate (a must if you are sweetening wine) make sure it is fresh. Enjoy!
