Is this the possible reason that my sangeovese kit had extra strong obvious yeast activity in the primary fermenter?? ((looked like a small outboard motor was runningmasta said:Quote from Tim Vandergrift of Winexpert:
"The bentonite is in the primary fermentation for two reasons:

<LI>It helps increase the rate of yeast growth, acting as an accelerant for budding activity
<LI>It helps settle out yeast cells post-fermentation, and prevents hazes from early autolysing cells.</LI>[/list]
