I like to use 1g of yeast per gallon of juice. Since I have 6 gallon buckets I would use 6g of yeast. I have six gallons of Barbera juice and would like to use my last package of RC 212. Since each package contains 5g, that would leave me one gram short. Can I mix 1g of 71B with 5g of RC212 with no ill effects?

Thanks

Make a yeast slurry about 24 to 48 hrs ahead of time. You will have more than enough of a colony to get the job done. If that's not possible I'm sure you'll be fine with one packet of RC212 and added yeast nutrients to get the show on the road. Worked for me with RC212 in the past.

this is a really good idea,

We really should develop a co-op to buy in quantity and share around. The only problem is, I don't like mailing yeast in the summer in case it gets left in the heat so it would have to be a mid winter swap.
