I have never used Red Star Yeasts before....I was wondering if Red Star Pasteur Red finishes to a dry wine???
I mixed up a grape must yesterday from our own Valiant Grapes and just pitched the Pasteur Red Yeast....now I am worried that it won't finish dry like we like....Guess I should have asked you guys first....????
The Valiants are like Concord Grapes, and is suppose to make a good wine if it gets oaked and aged enough...just wanted to try it once to see.
I had read that it was good for early picked grapes, we don't have a refractometer, so didn't know the Brix...It also said it was good for bold reds...so was hoping it would do the trick...maybe a Lalvin RC 212 would have been better...?Edited by: Northern Winos
