Hi everyone,
I have a couple of questions that I was hoping the more experienced wine-makers can answer. I have done a lot of research on the topic but the amount of information and opinions out there is overwhelming.
This season I am making three batches of wine out of fresh juice. I am looking for recommendations on the yeast and nutrient selections
Batch #1: White Blend of Chardonnay and Riesling
Yeast: ICV-D47 - researched its great for both Chardonnay and Riesling
Nutrients: The yeast calls for normal nutrients. Go-ferm and Fermaid K all that I need?
MLF: No
Batch #2: Amarone
Yeast: Either BM4x4 or ICV-D254 - opinions?
Nutrients: Calls for normal nutrients. Go-ferm and Fermaid K all that I need?
MLF; Yes, plan to but do you have recommendations on what to buy for this?
Batch #3: Montepulciano D'Abruzzo
Yeast: Either BM4x4 or ICV-D254 - opinions?
Nutrients: Calls for normal nutrients. Go-ferm and Fermaid K all that I need?
MLF: Undecided. Thoughts?
Besides the yeast selection I am curious if I am on the right track with nutrient selection or if I am missing something. I am also new to MLF and would like some recommendations.
Any help is appreciated!
