To old to rememberOh yes, it was a long time ago! We have been on this site a long time, Joe. I think I traded you a blueberry wine for it or something.
The TR-313 produced a strong grapefruit taste in my Vidal. We'll have to see how it ages.I doubt it will do anything notable, and I won't really know because they will get blended before they get any age on them, but what the heck.
I think you might be surprised how the different yeasts produce different flavor profiles. Perhaps when they complete AF you could fill three one gallon jugs and combine the rest in a larger carboy.Today I started a double batch of an RJS Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. It's been on the docket for a while now. I kept hesitating because I didn't quite want to deal with the double batch. My smallest "big" fermenter is 32 gallons, and it seemed silly to use that for 12 gallons. OTOH, I didn't want to do this twice. So, in the end, I decided to use 3 smaller buckets (the usual 7.9 and two 6 gallons), each with about 4 gallons in them.
As long as I had 3 separate fermentations going, I decided to use 3 different yeasts. I doubt it will do anything notable, and I won't really know because they will get blended before they get any age on them, but what the heck. I used D-47, QA-23, and, thanks to @winemaker81 , some TR-313.
I made half of last fall's Chambourcin with Bravo, and half with Avante. I reserved a gallon of each then blended the remainder. The taste test should be interesting. I'll reserve a bottle of each for the next time I visit my brother (which won't be soon, unfortunately).I think you might be surprised how the different yeasts produce different flavor profiles.

Blending with 1/3 of the wine using TR-313 may give you the nice notes without being over powering.
