For yellow and yellow-red Asian plums (Shiro and Early Golden mix specifically), does anyone have a recommendation on what yeast to use?
For seemingly red-ish Asian plums, I see several RC-212 recommendations.
In the past I have tried EC-1118 and 71B-1122, but premature oxidation issues and poor note taking leave me wondering.
Two years ago I did just 71B with Asian plums (Shriro, Early Golden, Beauty mix) and then European plums (Victoria, Brooks, Seneca mix), and the Asian was very good, but the European only so-so. Last year I did 71B with an Asian + European mix, but the result was so-so. It "seems" Asian plums provide lots of bright aroma and tastes, while the European plums are comparatively bland.
