Concord Questions

Hi all, I am attempting Concord for the first time and intend to pitch yeast tomorrow. Any favorites out there for that? It is a juice only concord that has a fair amount of color extraction. I intend to finish it semi-sweet or there abouts. I was thinking of Lavlin's- D47, or K1-1116, or possibly leaning towards my red favorite RC212. Does anyone recommend a MLF on this style of wine? Throw me a bone Clyde- I hear your Concord is great! Thanks, John Dixon

Hi John,

I do a maceration with ours, which would impact the yeast selection. For fermenting juice, I'd probably go with Cotes des Blanc since residual sugar is not much of a concern. I don't do MLF on ours. Not sure what impact it would have on the organoleptics of Concord!?? beyond lowering the acids, of course.

Keep plenty of nutrients at hand. I usually push the maximum on both Fermaid and DAP for labrusca varieties.

Montrechet works very well for me with Concord.
