Re: Yeast Nutrients

I have made fruit wines from all sorts of random frozen juice concentrates
from the grocery store (including 100% grape juice, but many others --
apple, apple + random other juice blend, pomegranate-blueberry,
kiwi-orange-strawberry, or whatever else they have: so many to choose
from!), and none of them has seemed to *need* yeast nutrients. I never
smelled H2S and never had a stuck fermentation. Without the nutrients, some
of them do ferment quite slowly, however (as in still bubbling after 2-3
months).

Now I'm getting worried. I've been making fruit wines for 30 yrs on an
off and on basis and never had H2S or a stuck fermentation without ever
using any nutrients. Is this a grape specific problem? I may have
enough grapes for some wine this year.
