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.

Excellent yeast doesn't leave a very yeast taste. A little fiddly to use as you have to create a starter to get the yeast ready to be introduced to the main brew. Pretty simple really & only needs to be left for about 20 mins before you can use it. Great results & allows a very high alcohol content (there are photos out there of me falling over drunk after a couple or 3 pints). Highly recommended!

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.

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

Absolutely fantastic yeast and at a great price. 100% recommended.

I mean im no expect and am recently getting into home brewing etc... but I mean i ordered and now have what seems to be a lot of this product and my wine fermentation is coming along great so nothing negative to say im happy with this purchase

Great for sugar wash (affectionately called Holy Water in our house).

Bought this to help me make cider as we had hundreds of apples from our 2 trees last summer. Oh my word does it work! Cheeked the alcohol content it got up to 24% proof. Just a load of apples and some honey and patience. Plus it tasted fabulous. A bit like calvados rather than cider

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

This is a great yeast for wine fermentation. It’s fast acting and needs very little sugar to activate. It’s superior in it 18% alcohol tolerance insuring all the sugar is consumed before the yeast dies off makes a great quality wine. Highly recommend
