Which instructions for the yeast do I follow (recipe differs from yeast packet)?

It is safe to assume that the manufacturer knows what they are talking about when they print directions on the package. However, some recipes and various authors often make recommendations for yeast starters, and it falls to the wine maker to decide. With some fruit recipes, it makes sense to follow a starter recipe that mimics the acid content of the wine recipe so the yeast does not get shocked. With a wine kit, it always best to follow directions from the manufacturer.
