Unknown Additive

Posted by: J Winer, Saturday, August 21, 2010

There is an additive in my Cru Select Port Wine kit in a white bottle. The only label on the bottle is a hand written code on the screw top "p 1/09". Does anyone know what this is for? I'm guessing its a finishing blend, but would like to know for sure.

Thanks.

It is a finishing blend add in at clearing time. How old is this kit? RJS has been better at lableing lately that is why I am asking.

Thanks. The kit is from Jan of '09. I just bought it last week. I read on the site that it may be past its prime. I hope it's not.

You are out of date but I am guessing it is a red Port you will probably be ok. Get a new yeast. EC-1118 That wil ensure a good ferment. let us know how this works out.
