Lalvin EC-1118 Saccharomyces bayanus (10 Packs)

Live yeast good quality, highly potent and great outcome. Quality item good vendor fast delivery.

I've been a wine, mead, and cider maker for over 20 years and this seems to always be my choice. EC1118 is low foaming and produces compact lees for easier racking and it's productive over a wide range of temperatures. It's a very aggressive yeast that's also good for restarting stuck fermentations. I primarily make dry red wines, meads, ciders, and an occasional white wine. This strain is perfect for a these applications. You can't go wrong with EC1118

My go to wine yeast, can always get 12-18% using this.

Best yeast I’ve ever used

Great product and arrived on time one one of the packs look like a split was in not sure I did it opening the pack or not

I use this for making wine from various fruits. My go-to is store brand grape juice, purple or white. Two cups of sugar per gallon, a teaspoon of yeast nutrient and 10 to 14 days yield a drinkable red table wine around 12% ABV. The white grape juice makes a really pleasant beverage that can also be bottle-carbonated in a clean liter soda bottle if you like a bubbly glass. A few oak chips during secondary mellows the red. My elderberry is an interesting alternative if you are willing to wait 4 or 5 months or more for it to age (the longer the better).

I use this to make red wine. Works great !

Strong fermenter, makes great hard cider
