## Questions & Answers

**Q: how long does it take to ferment 5 gals.**
A: This partly depends on the temperature. If it drops too low (under high 60s F), then this slows the fermentation process. If it is above 80 degrees F, it will ferment more quickly. However, if you keep the solution between 65 - 85 degrees F, it should take about 4 weeks to ferment.

**Q: Can anyone tell me why yeast manufacturers do not advise to add dry yeast to the must and instead recommend "rehydrating" at 105deg?**
A: That is a very good question. First, you will notice that there are varying instructions from yeast manufacturers. Some will suggest that yeast is first rehydrated and others will suggest that yeast is added directly to the wine must. The purpose of re-hydrating yeast prior to adding it to the must is to bring the yeast back to it's natural state. Yeast cells, like other living organisms, are naturally hydrated. Therefore, re-hydrating them back to their normal state prior to adding to the must simply allows them to be in a more 'ready' condition before being forced to conduct fermentation. This also reduces the amount of environmental stress put on the yeast. Additionally, the yeast can begin fermentation more quickly if it does not have to spend time re-hydrating in the must. A quicker start to fermentation results in other benefits such as less off-flavors and reduced possibility of contamination. Please let us know if you need anything else. Thanks!

**Q: Can I used this yeast for home brewing Barley beer**
A: Thanks for shopping. Brewers typically use beer yeast for making beer rather than wine yeast because it contributes the characteristics that you expect to find in the aroma and flavor of beer.  You could use wine yeast in beer but it would change the character of the finished beer resulting in a hybrid type beverage with some wine-like qualities.  However, if your goal is to make traditional beer styles, then you'll want to choose one of the many varieties of beer yeast available. Thanks!

**Q: Anyone used this for Blackberry wine?**
A: I used it for white wine.  Bought Montrachet for red wines.
