## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much juice do I need to use with each packet?**
A: each packet does 6 gallons (23 lt)

**Q: CAN sulfur be used on wine making?**
A: Sulfur-based compounds are commonly used in various phases of the wine making process for several different reasons. Sulfur compounds are also naturally produced as a byproduct of fermentation.

**Q: Does this yeast do well for distilling brandy's?**
A: If you're in the United States, home distilling is illegal at the Federal level unless you have a permit.  So, I'm going to assume that this question is academic in nature only.

Brandy is made by distilling wine.

So, the question becomes, is this a good yeast for making wine -- and the answer is: yes.

**Q: Did you get 10 packages for this price**
A: Yes this is for 10 packages
