2x Lalvin EC-1118 Champagne Yeast 5g Sachet 18% Homebrew Wine Making 4.5L-23L

Thank You for sending NEW, FRESH yeast that will not expire right away!!

I brought this to make my home made wine it did the job and made my wine in a month I think it's a good buy for wine making

Good yeast working well, expires November 2027.

Better off blooming it with warm distilled water before adding. Does tjw job will buy again

Arrived in good condition. Was not damaged and ready to use.

This yeast is a Sherman tank. Very low nutrient requirement. Very high attenuation. Very low ester production. Will handle rough conditions. Great for secondary bottle fermentation of a sparkling wine. Not great for primary fermentation.

This was dead on arrival. It's supposed to be refrigerated but arrived in a regular shipping box with some other stuff I ordered, and after pitching it into a mug of water with a bit of sugar it did nothing at all. I added it to my fermenter anyway, hoping it might wake up after a while, and there's no activity after two days. I have no idea how it was stored at the warehouse, but the between that and sitting in a shipping box for a few days it was totally dead.It's a shame because Lalvin yeast is usually very good. Maybe I was just unlucky this time. I've had success with mail ordered dry yeast in the past, but I won't be ordering any more of this.

For fruit wine this is one of two I will use anymore. It starts easy. It performs well bewtween 70 and 80 degrees. It can be encouraged to burn a wine from 1.100 SG to 094 to give a pretty high ABV and very dry and then to the degree I want, I back sweeten with a simple syrup made with a combination of sugar and honey. I am pretty careful, BUT NOT AN EXPERT, about the process and wines turn out very good, even before aging. No off flavors.Terrific product. Thanks!
