## Description

Here's a 500 gram brick of LALVIN EC-1118, a Champagne yeast with the perfect profile for fruit wines, ciders, cabernets, dry whites, ports, and the final stage of sparkling wines. It is known for its FAST FERMENTATION SPEED and loved by moonshiners for its HIGH 18% ALCOHOL TOLERANCE. Works even in heavy sulfite concentrations. It is also Lalvin's primary yeast to restart stuck fermentations and to naturally carbonate home-made soda. This is the original ‘PRISE DE MOUSSE’ yeast of ancient fame. 500 gram brick, enough for 500 gallons!

Review: Powerful results what else can I say? This yeast produced an end product that had much higher alcohol content than I or my family was expecting, thats not to say that it was bad (the taste was nice actually) but it was surprisingly strong. I should also warn that in the few batched I have made I keep getting a syrupy taste despite trying different recipes, it may have to do with this yeast, who knows.
Review: I like the bulk packaging and price. As long as it's quality and price stay good, this will probably be my go to yeast. I've only order this product 1nc so far.
