mixing yeasts

Oct 04, 2004 1 Replies

I'm making red wine from cabernet and merlot grapes. I want to inoculate the must today. My local winemaking supplier didn't have enough of the yeast I want (lalvin RC 212) to use so he made up the difference w/ lalvin 71B. Is it ok to combine them or would it be better to go w/ 22% less yeast than recommended and use only lalvin RC



212?

Just make a starter with RC212. That will take care of the lower starting dry yeast amount.
