    5.0 out of 5 stars So much better than standard yeast

    I make mead and was using standard bread yeast most the time. Wow, what a difference! with this the fermentation starts right away and really bubbles fast. I can't believe how much more effective this is compared to other yeast. I didnt need to use as much either.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The nuclear option for homebrewing
    Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2024
    Whenever I have something I know will be hard to ferment, EC1118 is my go to. I've used to to make cider from sorbated apple cider. I've used it to get pure cranberry juice going, despite it's naturally high levels of benzoic acid. I've used it on exceptionally high-gravity stuff to yield up to 17% ABV. (the stated max is 18% but I've never tried that) EC1118 doesn't add or subtract much from flavor but when conventional yeasts fail to work, this nuclear option does. Be sure to keep it happy with a good yeast nutrient and follow the simple rehydrating directions; I rarely use a starter. As for the Lalvin brand, I've always gotten consistently fresh and good product. I've never had a failure attributable to the yeast.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic yeast, if you get all of it
    Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2023
    I primarily went with this yeast because I was a touch foolish and forgot to get any with the rest of my setup due to my primary supplier not carrying this one... and this one said it would ship in a day.

    A day later and I got a packet of yeast. Only one packet. The listing's for five, no? Fortunately Amazon sent me a fresh pack, with all five packets this time, even letting me keep the one that had already arrived.

    It ultimately worked out for my use-case. I'm only doing five-gallon batches, and only needed the one packet right away, so the fact I had to wait on the rest wasn't an issue at the end of the day. Doesn't mean I was about to spend over $7 on a single packet of yeast, though! Knocked off a star for the hassle, but even then... I came out ahead in the end.

    Beyond that, it's a fantastic yeast for any sort of fruit or honey ferment and my favorite workhorse for ciders and meads.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I like things that always work!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2022
    I brew a simple, no-nonsense red wine using this yeast.
    Through 40 years the recipe has changed - used to use Welch's Frozen grape juice which is no longer available in our area, so whatever grape juice that has no preservatives will suffice. (Though Welch's was best).
    Once in that time, I added the yeast, checked it next morning, and NO movement. Added another packet and BOOM - off it went. Success.
    I've tried bread yeast for wine - it will work, and wine yeast for bread --- ditto. For what I drink on a regular basis, consistency is wonderful. But do I experiment? You betcha. But I always return to this yeast.
    Why? It's fast, low foaming, yields good flavor and is reliable throughout the year.
    Oh yes, and it's forgiving.
    Keep a log, don't rush things, and experiment to find your heavenly zone. And drink wine to be mellow.

    Considering I usually price shop I suppose I can report this was likely the best price and each packet works just as intended. A fun thing is you could grow your own when you have just one packet.
