fruit juice and sorbate preservative

[robtes]

As you all know guys, potassium sorbate inhibits yeast reproduction - something to do with stopping yeast from budding. So they say you cant ferment a juice with this chemical added. Is this true? Are manufacturers secretly preventing customers from making hooch?
AFAIK once the sorbate has exhausted a yeast innoculation its then inert (pls advise?). So the trick is to use a large active starter culture and dump it in your must and it should ovecome the sorbate (which cant deal with active yeast once its going?????)

Anyone know about this :smile:
