Score!

[Elmer]

Opened up my WE Brunello and found 2 packs of yeast!
Which works for me since I am plain out of yeast.
Now I can start a batch of DB as well!

When I bought my WE Brunello I used both packets.

Man, I was hoping you found like 4 6 gallon carboys for 20 bucs are something.....elmer...elmer...
go to the corner and make dragon blood.

Your're certain this particular kit doesn't call for using both packets?

 

[tonyt]

Elmer, use both packages.
Better luck next time.

I just checked my notes (did this one last year). Mine came with two packs of yeast. I used both. Btw, it's delicious.

 

[Elmer]

Why would this kit require 2 packs of yeast?
It only had a SG of 1.090

Which is about the same of most WE kits, and they only use 1 pack of yeast.
Not to mention I figured the directions would indicate 2 packs

I guess I just would not understand the benefit of 2 packs of yeast.

I would like to know also...why 10 grams of yeast instead of the normal 5...
Is it because they have added sorbate to it, are what.

James what would sorbate have to do with it. I thought you were the master sorbate man.

Plus the grape pack that is full of sugar. Mine was 1.094 plus the 2ltr grape pack.

I dont know...why would you have to use two packets of yeast...
I do not understand...
To answer your question...
I use two packets of yeast when i ferment anything from the store that has sorbate in it..

 

[Elmer]

I have never used 2 packs of yeast ever!
But I will add them both, because it came with the kit and I guess it won't hurt.
(Of course now I have to go but yeast)

And no Super Bowl for me.
I am 3 hours away.
