I need to let the wine age

Yeast

I bought Bold Red / High Alcohol Wine Wyeast 4946. 2 of the 3 worked fine. When the package arrived it was very warm from shipping and I believe the pouch of yeast that didn't work was caused by the heat. Good product,,,, needs a colder shipping procedure.

I killed it

Followed instructions on the package. But I got impatient and sat it outside for awhile. Unknowing the sun hit the pack & heated it to over 100°F. 😢 So if you buy it, don't get impatient, let it warm to 70°F patiently. Indoors!

18% ABV

This is great yeast to make at least 18% wine if you are going to distill it. I would recommend this yeast to anyone that wants high alcohol wine for any reason. I am sure it will work great with stuck fermentation.
