Liquid yeast has many advantages over dried yeast.
The variety of liquid strains is much greater, but what's most important
is the flavor profile. Most home winemakers would agree that wine
made with liquid yeast is superior in flavor. To make home winemaking
even easier, White Labs produces vials of liquid yeast culture that is
ready to inoculate the juice.
ANTI-FOAM
AGENT 6 gram packet $1.20
A powdered, food-grade silicone used to reduce excessive foaming during
fermentation. Add up to one gram of the Anti-Foam powder per gallon
of beer or wine prior to fermentation to prevent foam from pushing up and
clogging your airlock. It can also be added during the boiling stage
of brewing to prevent messy boil-overs! The Anti-Foam will not affect the
finished flavor, appearance or head retention of your beverage. Use
1 gram per gallon.
