Craft A Brew - Lalvin EC-1118 Wine Yeast - Neutral Dry Wine Yeast - For Reds, Whites & Sparkling Wines, Hard Ciders & Seltzers - Ingredients for Home Fermenting - Wine Making Supplies - [5 Pack]

DRY YEAST – Create your best sparkling wines with Lalvin EC-1118 Wine Yeast. This strain is used to ferment reds, whites, and sparkling wines. One of the most widely used yeasts worldwide, this strain is also popular for use in hard ciders and hard seltzers.

QUALITY – This strain is considered quite neutral and contributes little to the sensory profile of a wine. It can also ferment within a wide temperature range and can even be used to restart a stuck fermentation.

QUICK FERMENTATION – EC-1118 ferments quickly and reliably, producing compact sediment for improved clarity. It’s also very good at inhibiting or fighting off wild yeasts. This strain performs best in a fermentation temperature range of 50-86ºF.

HOME FERMENT INGREDIENTS – To begin fermentation, rehydrate yeast in 50 mL of water at a temperature of 95-98.6ºF. Gently stir to dissolve, then wait 20 minutes and add to the wine must. This packet of active dry yeast ferments a 1 to 6 gallon batch of wine or fruited cider.
