What is the date on the package?

I'm not an expert on yeast, by any means. It does have a shelf-life and will become bad with time. Refrigeration should extend the shelf-life of yeast by 4 months. To determine the date of packaging you will have to reach out to the manufacturer. On the package you should find a series of numbers and letters. This should tell the manufacturer when this yeast was packaged. These numbers are worthless to the consumer. All manufactures, by law, must know when their product was made; either by date or by batch number, for recall and safety measures. We all know that most products we purchase sit in warehouses, even during transportation. Sometimes these temp can be quite high. We have no idea what temps our products have been exposed to. Good luck.

How many gallons does one packet make?

It states on the packet, that it will take care of 1 to 6 US gal(s). I normally make 5 to 7 gal(s) when I make my wine. I always use 2 packets of yeast.

Reposting as there was a typo in the original. Q: Has anyone used this to ferment Mauby? Mauby is sweet and I'm afraid of messing it up.

just let it ferment until it stop bubbling.

can I store ec 1118 in the freezer?

Yes,That's exactly what I do to keep in good condition.

EC1118 is excellent wine yeast. Great value!

This yeast worked great to restart a stuck ferment on a recent batch of rhubarb wine. EC1118 is fantastic for many types of wine and has good alcohol tolerance and is used in many recipes. The product that was shipped matched the item description. The price is a great value for anyone who makes wine on a frequent basis.

This is a must for wine making!

Worked great! This was my first time making wine at home, and the yeast made it so easy. One pack of yeast was enough for almost 4 52oz batches! Great value! I was nervous because I didn’t realize that I got sparkling yeast, but my wine is turning out just fine. I’m on day 3 of fermentation, and I love hearing and seeing the bubbles. 🍷😁 Good homemade wine coming soon!
