No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
Figured I'd start a thread to track the progress on this, since these kits are so new. I pitched the yeast this weekend. It came with both EC-1118 and K1-V1116. You are to use both yeasts. Since the EC1118 is such a powerhouse, I gave the K1-V1116 about an hour head start. Don't know if that'll do anything at all, but it made sense in my feeble little brain.
This is the first white wine I've done. The juice smelled great, and a few days into fermentation, smells absolutely fantastic. This is probably the best smelling ferment I've done. It's nice to see such a "clean" ferment. I'm used to doing kits with grape packs and this one has no mess, no bag of fruit, etc.
This is an 18 liter kit and comes with labels and the other standard "stuff". Packets of KMeta and Sorbate, and Keiselsol and Chitosan for clearing. A bentonite packet was provided for primary, as it is for most kits.
That's all for now. I'll update as things progress.
