Lalvin Ec-1118 Wine Yeast 5G

The EC-1118 strain was isolated, studied and selected from Champagne fermentations. Due to its competitive factor and ability to ferment equally well over a wide temperature range, the EC-1118 is one of the most widely used yeasts in the world. The fermentation characteristics of the EC-1118 extremely low production of foam, volatile acid and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) make this strain an excellent choice. This strain ferments well over a very wide temperature range, from 10 to 30C (50 to 86F) and demonstrates high osmotic and alcohol tolerance. Good flocculation with compact lees and a relatively neutral flavor and aroma contribution are also properties of the EC-1118.
