Review: This sped up the fermentation process and insured that no other yeasts could compete for the sugars in the juice (a good practic - This worked well for the hard cider I made. I used this in combination with 1 gallon of pressed apple juice, 2 cups of refined white sugar, and 1 tsp of yeast nutrient. The packet is meant for 5 gallons of liquid, but I used it all one gallon. This sped up the fermentation process and insured that no other yeasts could compete for the sugars in the juice (a good practice to follow when you are using unpasteurized juice. This turned out great--left it about 9-10% with some residual sweetness. Does not take the hard cider as high and dry as a wine yeast would. If that's what you want, this will make a great yeast for your brew. Good luck!
Review: Oenologists Assemble! - I was a bit leery buying food products online but decided to take a chance. The price was enticing which was another mitigating factor as to why I decided to buy this product. My intent was to get an oenological yeast to produce some hard cider for Thanksgiving. Well fortunately our local grocer has cider that is UV irradiated rather than poisoned with potassium sorbate. So I took about 2 oz. of cider spiked with corn sugar, warmed it to 105 F and added the yeast. The package said to wait 15 minutes; however, within 5 minutes I had a pronounced yeast bloom. Took less time to activate than regular baker's yeast. So my cider is busy happily converting the fruit and corn sugar to alcohol. According to my hydrometer the cider would only produce about 4% alcohol so a half cup of corn sugar to the gallon brought it to 10%. More like apple wine than hard cider but that's ok. What's nice about fermenting apple cider is that the acids in the cider work with the yeast converting the sugars to alcohol rather than vinegar. I've done this before so I know that "green" hard cider will taste a bit sharp but give it 2 weeks and it will mellow out. Btw, adding 1/4 tsp of unflavored Knox gelatin dissolved in a 1/4 cup of warm must when added to the bottle will clear the brew. It's the cheapest and best way to clarify a brew. I've used it for wine, ale, and beer with excellent results. I've got to try this yeast to make mead or melomel. Mannanan mac Lir would approve!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this with red wine?**
A: You could but D-47 is probably better with whites and blushes. Lalvin EC-1118 might be a better option for reds. I personally prefer mead to grape wine and use D-47 a lot with mead making and it turns out great. I have not had a bad batch and have done everything from a dry batch to sweet fruit flavored melomels like blueberry and raspberry. D-47 is a great all around choice for mead.

**Q: how much do you use per gallon?**
A: One whole packet is good for up to five gallons.  About one teaspoon will be for one gallon.  More won't hurt, it will just make it ferment faster.  Personally I use 1/2 packet for anything under three gallons and a whole packet for anything over three gallons.
 Save the rest of the packet in the refrigerator.  
Happy Brewing!

**Q: For you mead Brewers, how long does it usually take for it to finish its primary fermenting in a 1 gallon batch with this yeast.**
A: When making mead, you can expect that primary fermentation will require about 1 month due to the slower fermentation experienced when fermenting honey. You can expect a sluggish fermentation compared to a traditional fruit wine. Be sure to use the adequate amount of yeast nutrient, aerate the mixture thoroughly before pitching the yeast and use a larger-than-typical yeast dose (about 1 pack per 1 gallon). You can expect the mead to ferment very slowly during a secondary period for a period of 2 to 6 months depending on your environment. You can certainly speed up fermentation with warmer temperatures if you need to mature it quickly which will also result in a slightly sweeter, fruitier mead. Good luck!

**Q: Does this have high alcohol tolerance?**
A: Not as high as others, no. Lalvin has one called EC-1118 that has a higher tolerance than D-47. I prefer D-47 for mead as it's a good all around strain meaning that it turns out consistently good batches without having to constantly monitor it. I have been mead making for only two years and with everything, opinions vary. You can also check some of the home brewer forums.
