5.0 out of 5 stars Consistent Quality
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2024
I use this yeast to brew wine using frozen grape juice, and have for many years.
This yeast has amazing tolerance for temperature.
I live in the Arizona Desert area and do not have any special way to adjust temperature other than our heat pump, but the yeast just keeps on cookin' in our pantry or unused bathtub - sometimes even in the garage.
Potential alcohol by volume is 18%, I've read.
This is pretty good after fermenting for 9 months, but don't expect 18% alky after that time.
I've tried other yeasts but always come back to LC-1118.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect yeast for hard lemonade

Hard Lemonade / Limeade - Version 051322
An easy recipe for a fairly dry hard lemonade of about 10% ABV. It makes 5 gallons so it fits easily in
a Corny keg. It is ready to drink on the day you keg.
Ingredients
- 10 cans of preservative-free Lemonade and/or Limeade Frozen Concentrate (I use Winco’s)
- 4 pounds Corn Sugar (Dextrose)
- 1 pound Light DEM
- 7 teaspoons of dry Yeast Nutrient (I use Fermax)
- Lalvin EC-1118 Champagne Yeast (I use this specific yeast because it can handle the acidity of the
lemonade wort)
Prepare the Wort
- Sanitize the fermenter, utensils, and all accessories prior to use with Star San or equivalent.
- Boil 2 gallons of water then add 4 pounds Dextrose and 1 pound of Light DEM which will result in
hard lemonade of approximately 10% ABV.
- Stir until completely dissolved and remove from heat.
- Add 10 cans Lemonade/Limeade Concentrate to the fermenter, and about a gallon of cold water.
- Add the dextrose wort to the fermenter, and then more cold water to fill the fermenter to 5 gallons.
- After the wort has reached a temperature of 75 degrees, add 7 teaspoons Yeast Nutrient
- Take and record an initial refractometer reading (should be around 18 BRIX).
- Put 1 cup of the wort into the yeast rehydration vessel.
- Then add 1/4 teaspoon of loose nutrient, or couple of nutrient pellets to the rehydration vessel.
- Now add 1 package of Lalvin EC-1118 dry yeast to the rehydration vessel.
- Allow mixture to sit for one half hour, or until you observe vigorous action in the yeast starter.
- Pitch the yeast into the fermenter and stir.
- Put a lid and airlock on fermenter and place it somewhere where the temperature will stay close to
70-75 degrees.
Fermentation
- Fermentation will commence in 2-3 days and will last for 1-2 weeks depending on ambient
temperature.
- Allow fermentation to run to dry (should be around 7 BRIX on refractometer or 0.998-1.002 specific
gravity).
Kegging
- Clean and sanitize a 5 gallon Corny keg and a carboy.
- Rack the lemonade from the fermenter into the clean corny key (put leftover in a container in the
refrigerator).
- Optional: add xylitol (or other non fermenting sugar) to taste and let the carboy sit overnight to allow
settling.
- Force carbonate the lemonade at 10-12 pounds of pressure.
