Lalvin EC-1118 Wine Yeast (10 Pack) - Champagne Yeast - Make Wine Cider Mead Kombucha At Home - 5 g Sachets - Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Sold by CAPYBARA Distributors Inc.

Efficient delivery, friendly driver. Working well on the damson wine I am making.

Quite new to this hobby. This video is my second batch using the same yeast after pitching it in the first batch, reusing the settled yeast (yeast cake/lees) by refilling the demijohn after racking off the first batch. I didn’t add any extra yeast for the second batch, and this video is about 6 hours after adding the new must to the demijohn. As you can see, the yeast is berry happy. I did wake the yeast up before pitching it for the first batch, by rehydrating 1g in 2 tbsps warm water for about 20 minutes. (I put it under my turtles basking lamp, temp about 30-35°. It got nice and foamy.) First batch fermented from OG 1.050 to FG 1.000 in about 5 days (pitched 31 December, racked and bottled 5 January) at room temp. I’m waiting for the bottles to carbonate, but so far I’m pleased. Can't wait for this batch to finish. The first batch was kiwi and passion fruit, but as you can see from the video this is strawberry and hibiscus. I'm hoping for a nice, dry, sharp and tangy sparkling beverage.

EC-1118 is an famous yeast in the mead making community. Works pretty well for any kind of wine, mead, or even cider. You can find slightly better yeasts for certain applications like cider, or certain kinds of fruit wines. Generally though it's a solid choice for many types of homebrew and is known to be very reliable and outcompete any wild yeasts or other nasties that might try to get involved. It's also got a high tolerance for high strength brews. Just don't use it for beer or ale, it's not designed for that and you will probably be disappointed.

Brilliant really, I can't complain. This is our first time making wine from our own grape vines and I can honestly say it works a charm. We accidentally forgot to add the yeast and realised the next day but even adding it 4 days late it started the bubbling process etc within the couple of hours stated 👍🏻

Great for making wine at 18%. whats not to like?

I've not used it yet but I'm sure it will be fine for my needs. Fast delivery

Really pleased as arrived on time and in good condition.

All great. Thanks.

We recently used this yeast to make our first batch of hard apple cider, and I’m genuinely impressed by its effectiveness. My husband used to brew beer, but that required a different type of yeast. However, this particular yeast transformed ordinary apple juice into a delicious homemade hard cider. While it may take some time to finish the product, that’s a positive aspect, not a drawback. I particularly liked that I didn’t need to add hardly any additional sugar to the apple juice to make it hard. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to save money on store-bought hard cider. Why not make your own for a fraction of the price, especially if you already have the other necessary components?

Funziona benissimo

Not sure if I should write it while using it or not... nevertheless seems like a great product. I use it for mead and ferments very well And, wrll since it comes in a five pack guess you have to make 5 gallons. Win for all!

Haben damit einen super Honigwein hinbekommen mit 14,5%. Funktioniert auch bei niedrigen Temperaturen im Keller .

Form, fit, & function as advertised
