Hi all,
Last night I started my first batch. I am using one of Jack's recipes for Strawberry wine. I made two slight changes from the recipe. The first is the recipe called from yeast Nutrient. In the kit I have it contained both yeast nutrient and yeast energizer, thus I added the yeast energizer & yeast nutrient according to the directions on the bottles. This shouldn't be a problem? The Second and I think this may be a problem. The recipe from Jack's site did not call for using Campden tablets, however other reading on his site states to always use Campden tablets, so I used them at the amount of 1 tablet per gallon of must. However, I added my yeast about 20 minutes after using these tablets. I noticed that on most of the recipes that have Campden listed they say to wait 12-24 hours before adding the yeast. So, my question is will my yeast start working, or today, 24 hours later, should I add another packet of yeast since the yeast I added yesterday is dead? thanks!!! Dan |
