YEAST: All Lalvin and Red Star
yeast, that we carry, are freeze dried and in nitrogen purged foli packs. 5 gram packs are rated for 1-6 US
gallons.
Determine the finish of your wine first and
then chose the yeast.
Yeast has various tolerances to
alcohol. There are many different yeast cultures available
in large quantities for winemakers, but just a hand full in 5-gram packages, freeze dried and will inoculate
5-6 gallons for the amateur winemakers.
Your decision to us a malolactic culture will also
dictate what yeast choice you make.
Most of the older “recipes” for fruit wine call for Red Star Champagne yeast as it was available. Dare to change
and use some of Lalvin yeast or other Red Star yeast.
