Again thanks for the info and help. Jacob thanks for the great detailed info and telling me how to make the starter and how to mix the starter with the must. Now I don't have to rack my brain trying to figure out what to do and how to do it. Its nice to know that there are people who know...

Thanks for all your suggestions, especially Jacob Marley who went above and beyond and emjay. I will continue to try contacting the company in Canada. What do you think of my making a batch of alcohol intended for hard liquor (water, sugar and yeast) and adding that to the wine? Thanks...
