So we just picked up wine experts private reserve amarone style and plan on starting it next week. We have made a few private reserves in the past when we were novice at wine making. For months now we pretty much just use the kit juice and upgrade everything else in the classic and reserve kits. Months later we are back starting a private reserve. It contains two yeasts (ec-1118 & rc212). We know rc212 is the right one for it, but want to stay away from ec1118 (nothing against it, just it a clean basic fermenting yeast) and rather use the second pack for something that could pull other notes from the wine.
So my question is why in the private reserve reds to they have two different yeast packets?
Second question, since their is two packets and we don’t want to use ec-1118 can we just use two packets of rc 212 or what other yeast would you recommend to use with rc212?
