Alicia Said:

In elderberry wine recipes, what is 1. acid blend, 2. Montrachet wine yeast, 3 Campden tablet?

We Answered:

All of these items should be available at your local homebrew shop. Acid blend contains 50% Malic Acid, 40% Citric Acid, and 10% Tartaric Acid, and is used in fruit wines to adjust acid levels. Montrachet wine yeast is just a certain strain that is made by Red Star. And campden tablets are used to kill off any bacteria or wild yeast. Campden tablets are just potassium metabisulfite pressed into single doseage size pills.
