Hi Joan,
Happy Thursday! I asked George about this with the MM VN Pinot I'm doing. My kit did not have it either. He saidif the kit did not include it, not to worry. Evidently, MM is/was worried about incomplete fermentation and is doing this as a precaution.Some kits (like mine and yours) had the instruction change but not the ingredient change. With the kit I have, if anything, it was a rather active fermentation and had no problem getting dry. Hope this helps. Jeff
