Chokecherry Wine Yeast Question

[TasunkaWitko]

Regarding Chokecherry Wine (Prunus virginiana):

Has anyone used Red Star's green-label Côte des Blanc's yeast for chokecherry wine - and, if so, how does it compare to Red Star's red-label Premiere Classic (formerly Montrachet) yeast?

Thanks in advance -

Ron

I used BM 4x4 last year.

I used the cote des blanc on chokecherry last year and it came out fine. In fact drinking some right now. Used montrachet and developed a bad rotton egg smell with it. It has a reputation for that. Don't really believe it is the yeasts fault, just need the proper nutritions with it so it does not stress. But, I still stay away from it. My 2 cents for what it is worth. Arne.

Sorry for being late. I always used EC-1118 with no problems at all for the past 8 years or so.
