            Yay, it even made it all the way up here today!

            Thanks Brian, I intend on making a wine #1 with late(afterwards) added Gooseberries. Not sure on the red yet.

                        Thanks Brian,

                        Yeasts arrived this morning. Was wondering what yeast 3 was until I turned it 90 deg clockwise

                        I have just finished a 10L batch of lychee variant using k1v. I will try the same recipe with the white yeast and all being well I will send some of each to the VWC in May for all to compare.

                        If anyone is interested, here is the recipe:

                        LYCHEE WINE

                        2L Apple Juice (lidl)
                        2L White Grape Juice (lidl)
                        1L Rubicon lychee drink (on offer at..... you guessed it Lidl)
                        25g Tartaric Acid
                        10g bentonite
                        Yeast
                        1500g Sugar (or sugar to 1085)
                        3tsp Tronozymol
                        Water to 10L

                        ferment to dry -> meta+kwikclear -> bottle.

                        The above gave a TA of 5.5g/l as sulphuric which I thought should be OK for a dry white.

                            Cheers Cellar Rat, posty delivered yeast today and my Lychee experiment will start on Saturday.

                            One newbie question, how should I use the yeast? Do I treat it like Lalvin Strains and re-hydrate it or just pitch it on top?

                              I'm going to rehydrate mine, but that's so I can give C_R some feedback on how it behaves compared to the control subject being started at the same time.
                              It will still go if you just throw it in.

                                Rehydrate as normal (lalvin).

                                Just a thought the white can be for reds too - see the latest notes!
