Muscadine Day 2: The Yeast

Gave the strainer bag a squeeze to get some more juice out. Checked the SG today it is at 1.110. Higher than my target was color of the juice is a dark pink. Added the Yeast Nutrient to the Must and created a yeast starter with Pasteur Red yeast. An hour after re-hydrating the yeast in 1 cup of warm water, added 1/4 of the juice every 1.5 hours until I added 1 cup of juice. The started was realing foaming and bubbling good (should have taken a picture). Stirred into the must and with in a couple of hours it is already bubbling real good.
