## Overview

Lalvin EC-1118 Champagne Yeast is a premium 5g sachet yeast designed for homebrewers aiming for high-alcohol, clean-tasting wines and champagnes. Known for its fast, aggressive fermentation and resilience to common brewing mistakes, it supports up to 18% ABV and comes in convenient foil sachets that preserve freshness and ease of use. Ideal for batches of 1 gallon or more, this gluten-free yeast delivers professional results without the need for extra nutrients.

## Description

Directions 1. Dissolve the yeast in a little warm water. 2. Add the mixture to the must. 3. Leave to ferment at room temperature.

Review: Lalvin ec-1118 yeast - Really strong and effective yeast. Doesn't need any yeast nutrients from my experience and brews really strong as long as you've got enough sugar and time. Theres no aftertastes you would get from using any ordinary bread yeast it produced a really clean tasting wine. The yeast itself is in foil coated sachets which make it easy to close up after one use as it holds shape which makes it functional. Its a great value for money as one sachet can make you over a galon of product, and its sachet form makes it easy to use as long as your pouring it down a big opening
Review: Fast, Reliable and Resilient - EC-1118 is one of the most in-demand wine yeasts for good reason. It has a high ABV tolerance (intended for champagnes but usable in all sorts of brews), its fermentation is usually very quick and aggressive, and I've found it to be quite resilient to mistakes that I've made as well. As always with these 5g bags, if you're making a smaller batch of a gallon/5 litres or less, you really don't need the entire packet. You can just use about half of it or less even and tape up the bag.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast, Reliable and Resilient

EC-1118 is one of the most in-demand wine yeasts for good reason. It has a high ABV tolerance (intended for champagnes but usable in all sorts of brews), its fermentation is usually very quick and aggressive, and I've found it to be quite resilient to mistakes that I've made as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Makes amazing ginger beer
*by E***Y on 7 December 2023*

I usually use Young's super wine yeast for an English ginger beer recipe that should taste half way between the M&S fiery and normal ginger beers from the noughties. I never quite got it to work properly so tired this champagne yeast for the first time. It made a plant that was very clear and seemed almost dead. However, when heated in week 2 in a demi-john and then proved in week 3 it taste fantastic. The only annoying thing about it is that it's very heat sensitive so I had to get it up to about 22°C to 30°C. If my room got cold, it didn't die but became dormant. I left the demi-john a few feet from a stove and had it bubbling at 10 bubbles a minute, so it performs very well. The bottom line is, it gives a great clear taste, and I'll never go back to super wine yeast.
