Lalvin - Red Star - is this just different brands, or different yeasts?
I am doing a cranberry wine from juice (yes, I'm moving from kits into juice, before I try raw fruit). The juice can says Red Star Premier Cuvee or Cote Des Blancs for sweeter wine. I have Lalvin. (and I thought I had bought all the chemicals in the store last time I was there). Can I use Lalvin Champagne -- it appears to have many characteristics of Cote Des Blancs. I'm sure others have learned the hard way, so I'm asking so I don't waste 6 gallons of possibilities. (i'm doing a double
96 oz batch into a 6 gallon fermentor).thanks. All that I've learned so far has made my last two batches real good. The Pinot Noir is about to go into final racking. (my 2nd kit)
thanks, DAve
