Thank you again!

Everything has been going great...I don't know if your on Facebook but I've got videos of all my current progress on there. I've been having trouble posting on YouTube. You said you fermented for 3 days on juice and skins...how do you know your ready to rack to glass? Won't our yeast take off again when we dilute our juice with sugar water in the carboys? When do you put in your bentonite and yeast nutrient?

Okay...got the three packets. How would you recommend that I add it. Can I adjust my ph after initial fermentation? I dont have a titration kit yet.

Do you recommend a better yeast than Montrachet?...if I'm making 13 gallons do I use three packets?
Much better flavor today. I guess some of what I was tasting was some of the sulfur.

I bottled this batch up today and I am not impressed with flavor profile I got with the D47 yeast. I much prefer my previous batch with EC118 yeast. It gave a much smoother flavor profile similar to a Sauvignon Blanc.

Whether I am making red or white muscadine wine I only ferment on the skins for 3 days. That is what works for me. No, your yeast will not take off again once you add in the additional water and sugar as your yeast are still actively fermenting anyway. I add the bentonite and yeast nutrient once I have added everything in the carboy to continue the 1st stage of fermentation.

It is better if you can adjust the ph before fermentation but I routinely adjust after fermentation. It all works out. For the yeast, once the grapes are crushed you should add the Potassium metasulfite and let sit for the 24 hours and then add your yeast.

I am using D47 on this one. Nothing wrong with Montrachet and I would use 2-3 packs for the 13 gallons.

I crush mine by hand but I also use this big metal stomper, normally used to compact soil, to crush them. Put the grapes in a container and then just hit them with the stomper.
