Hi everyone,
Just joined today as I stumbled across this great site when searching for yeast advice. Making my first ever batch of wine today...well, starting at least. A six gallon batch of blackberry wine following this recipe: http://howtomakehomemadewine.biz/2014/02/14/blackberry-wine-recipe/
Trouble is, I have the wrong yeast. His calls for either EC-1118 or Champagne Yeast.
What I have is:
Not sure, but I think the Premier Blanc is a champagne yeast, so that could work. But what I'd like to achieve is a not too fruity wine and a drier wine.
Any thoughts on which yeast I should use?
Thanks so much, and excited to be here!
