PRODUCT QUESTIONS

Q	Susan (Snoqualmie, WA) We are interested in buying the Your Fruit Necesities Kit. However, we have a question. We are using raspberries and your recipe listed on the website calls for using ICV D47 Yeast. Can we select the type of yeast that comes in the kit?
A	CustomerService@ECKraus.com No, you cannot select the type of yeast that comes in the kit. The kit comes with an all purpose wine yeast that can be used on any type of wine.

Q	Jo Ann (Newberry Springs, CA) Does this kit include the bottles?
A	CustomerService@ECKraus.com No, it does not. You can either recycle wine bottles you have or you can buy the new wine bottles we sell.

Mike (Beavercreek, OR)
When purchasing the starter kit KT310 "everything you need except fruit", is it necessary to purchase a secondary fermenter?

CustomerService@ECKraus.com
It is not necessary, but it is helpful. Throughout the wine making process, you will be racking the wine. Racking the wine is transferring it from one container to another and leaving the sediment behind. If you do not have another fermenter, you will have to put the wine in something while you clean and sanitize your container. You then would put the wine back into the fermenter that comes in the kit.

Andy (Kimberton, PA)
As novice in wine making, I am so new I do not know what questions to ask. I have never done this before. Will this Fruit wine making kit be a complete kit? Do I need to buy any additional items such as Glass or plastic 5 gal jug?

CustomerService@ECKraus.com
It would be helpful, but not a necessity, to have a second fermenter to rack between. Your wine will be dry when it is finished. If you want your wine to be sweet, you can get a stabilizer to put in at bottling time and sweeten the wine to taste with your own sugar or honey. The stabilizer prevents a refermentation. Alternately, you can get our wine conditioner which is a liquid sweetener and stabilizer combined.

Q	Meg (Dexter, IA) I recently purchased your fruit wine starter kit and it doesn`t mention what type of yeast is included. If I could get that information that would be great.
A	CustomerService@ECKraus.com It comes with the Montrachet yeast.

Andy (Moody, AL)
I`m thinking of ordering the "Your Fruit Necessities Box" item KT310. What I want to know is can I also make wine with your precanned juice or do I have to have the "Sun Cal Necessities Box" or the "California Connoisseur Box? I have muscadines at my home but may want to make other kinds of wine also. I want a kit that will do it all. Please let me know what I need so I can order ASAP.

CustomerService@ECKraus.com
You can use the ingredients that come in the Your Fruit Necessities box for our SunCal brand. If you use it with one of the box kits, for example California Connoisseur, you will have to cut back on the water by 1/2 gallon to allow for the foaming because they are 6 gallon kits. Once you do your first racking, you then can add the water back. Some people choose not to add the 1/2 gallon of water back.
