What about Lavlin 71b or 1122? I only have montrachet on hand. Just didnt want to have to order just yeast if i didnt have to

I definitely want something that will give me a goodbstrong fruit profile. Does montrachet not give you that? Or is cote des blancs just give it more fruity profile ?

Will montrachet red star yeast work well with peach and blackberry wine?

Packet said to mix with 1/4 cup of water. Made no mentionnon how to putnit in wine...

It looks like the yeast is working. Lots of bubbles and gas being emitted. If i add some montrachet red star yeast will it do anything to the wild yeast? I just want to make sure i get this right while i can.

Do i stir in the yeast with the wine when i pour it in or just pour it in op top and leave it?

I recently (several days ago) started two batches of muscadine wine planning on using wild yeast as i have in the past but i am concerned about how theae 2 batches will work since the grapes have been frozen. I ordered some Montrachet Red star yeast, which should be in today. How exactly do i go...

Just ordered this book. I have been reading it and i find it very interesting. Just wondering if anyone else has the book and if they have tried making any of the brew mentioned in the book?

Im reading alot of stuff now that says the same thing...freezing dies not kill wild yeast

Thank you for the prompt response. I have some montrachet on order as we speak. I keep a balloon over the jugs to monitor whats going on...as i left for work this morning i checked it and it was at about a 45 degree angle. Not quite straight up. I would rather add the yeast and know i am...

i normally make my muscadine wine using natural yeasts in the grapes. I had always made it with fresh grapes off the vines. I had a good bit leftover from last year so i froze them. I recently decides to start a few more batches using my same natural yeast recipe. Got to thinking about it and...

I dont put any yeast in. I use the natural yeast from the grapes. I used muscadines, sugar, water to make this wine. That is it.

Sure, here you go. I used a 5 gallon purified water jug. 1. Crush 4 gallons of Muscadines. 2. Dissolve 3 pounds of sugar in just enough water to make it pourable. 3. Add crushed Muscadines and sugar mixture to jug. Add just enough water to cover the grapes. Wont be a whole lot. Dont fill more...

This is my 1st attempt at wine making. I started these two batches of muscadine wine in Sept 2012. I am very pleased how they both turned out. The first batch was made with "Southland" purple muscadines and the second batch was made with bronze "Darlene" muscadines. Each batch made me exactly 8...

I will say i am not against using yeast but i do not have all of the other ingredients i see in alot of recipes that call for yeast to be added

Does anybody have a strawberry wine recipe they would mind sharing? I would prefer to make it using wild yeast as that is how i make my muscadine wine. I am not advanced enough in wine making to get too technical with things but would be open to trying any recipe. Would like to get it started...

Thanks Georgia mead...i dont have an airlock or any other supplies. The recipe i used was one with wild yeast so pretty much all i had to buy was a jug . I do have some Campden tablets... Dont they inhibit the process of wild yeast growth? That would stop what if going on if anything right?

Oh and when i peeled the balloon off one of the jugs i did hear air/gas escape

I started 2 batches of muscadine wine last September (2012). I had both in 5 gallon purified water containers. They have been in my laundry room since then with a balloon over the top. I have sampled both and they both taste great im jut worried that they are still working and that ifbi bottled...

I made 2 batches of muscadine wine last september. It turned out real well. Both batches are still in their containers. I used the large 5 gal purified water jugs. I still have the balloon over the opening of the jugs. The reason i never bottled is because i was worried there was still gas in it...
