A copy of a letter on onion skin paper from Wilbur P. McDonald, M. D., to Universal Foods Corp., Milwaukee, Wisconsin, dated August 23, 1974. The letters COPY in red ink are down the left hand side of the paper.Context
Dear Sirs:
I am an amateur enologist trying to raise grapes in Northwest Missouri so as to make a decent dry wine. This has never been done in this area, so I have nothing to loose, and all to gain. I have been using Yeastart #2 Packets obtained from Scott Laboratories, Richmond, California, but they have discontinued this item, so I am looking for a new source of yeast supply.
As I only grow sufficient grapes of any one variety to make a five gallon varietal batch, my production is very limited, bearing from 15 to 60 gallon per year, depending upon the grapes I can bring into production. I am interested in small packets of dry yeast of the Champagne or Montrachet Strain, which I may use for my 5 gallon batches. Could you give me information on this?
