## Description

desertcart.com : Lalvin EC-1118 Wine Yeast (10 Pack) - Champagne Yeast - Make Wine Cider Mead Kombucha At Home - 5 g Sachets - Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Sold by CAPYBARA Distributors Inc. : Everything Else

Review: Perfect for home-brewed cider - We recently used this yeast to make our first batch of hard apple cider, and I’m genuinely impressed by its effectiveness. My husband used to brew beer, but that required a different type of yeast. However, this particular yeast transformed ordinary apple juice into a delicious homemade hard cider. While it may take some time to finish the product, that’s a positive aspect, not a drawback. I particularly liked that I didn’t need to add hardly any additional sugar to the apple juice to make it hard. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to save money on store-bought hard cider. Why not make your own for a fraction of the price, especially if you already have the other necessary components?
Review: Quality yeast - I’ve been using Lalvin for over 30 years. Never any issues. Just follow the directions and make sure water is the correct temperature.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the date on the package?**
A: 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.

**Q: How many gallons does one packet make?**
A: 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.

**Q: 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.**
A: just let it ferment until it stop bubbling.

**Q: can I store ec 1118 in the freezer?**
A: Yes,That's exactly what I do to keep in good condition.
