I recently purchased some Fermaid K from Morewinemaking.com, since I cannot seem to find this in Canada (paid an arm and not one, but two legs in shipping costs to get it here!!)
I used Go-Ferm and a first packet of Fermaid K with BM4x4 (also using for the first time) in a RJS Winery Series Amarone in primary. Starting S.G was 1.11 and 7 days later (today) it is 1.005. The kit instructions says between day 6-8 it should be 1.02 or lower before racking to secondary. (I have stirred twice a day throughout the process so far and I thought, I'd rack after three more days.)
The instructions from Morewinemaking site for Fermaid K say to add a second packet at 1/3 sugar depletion. I guess I missed the point at which I should have added this, but with S.G. already so low is it still needed??
Also, if anyone knows where I can find this through a Canadian retailer please let me know. I can’t seem to find this or the wide selection of yeast strains and additives (Booster Rouge, RP-15/BM45/BM4x4/ICV-D80/D-21) that are readily available in the U.S.
