Pyment - yeast suggestions please
« on: November 07, 2010, 02:08:40 AM »
I got given (rather told to go and press at the orchard) some white grape juice yesterday. I plan to use it to make a pyment, but can't make up my mind which yeast I should use. I've never made pyment before, and am not sure what would be most suitable.

I have Montpellier, Champagne, Riesling, Tokay, and Sherry on hand, so it would be from these that I would make my choice.

What variety of grapes? That will make a difference in which yeast you'd pick.  Also, what profile do you want the pyment to end up with?  Dry? Sweet?
