Beautiful fizz to my ginger beer ### ⭐ product described as 10 packets only 1 arrived *by D***R on 29 March 2020* Disgusted.. lets hope it was a mistake looking forward to getting the other 9 or my money back. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Red or Mixed Fruit Juices *by J***N on 7 June 2020* Lalvin FC-1118 Wine Yeast: I've used this for over a year and find it reliable through summer and winter. Since my batches are small (one gallon jugs in a bathtub), an inexpensive yeast keeps costs down. This works quickly and reliably on frozen grape (and other) juices, has good alcohol tolerance and yields good flavor. This yeast produces good results for sparkling wine in pressure bottles. This has become my "go-to" yeast because it gives a decent product in only a few weeks. When out of my usual bread yeast, this came to the rescue! 2023 update I continue to use this yeast because it continues to give good results. After putting some 24-day old mast in the garage (in Phx area AZ) in winter into pressure bottles, fermentation continued; temperature varied between early 40's to low 70's - got some nice sparkling wine now. Don't know how long I've use this - since before that Covid-19 hit, for sure. Maybe that's why I'm so mellow? 2026 Update- this is still a great yeast for flat or sparkling red wine. Over the last 3 months or so i have noticed that the fermenting wine creates much more froth or foam than previously. Serious vintners have a name for the frost or foam but I d9 not remember it. Unless I want to clean up a mess later, I must reduce the volume of the batch or it will foam out the mouth of the vessel, run down the sides and puddle on the deck below. Still my preferred yeast, and the flavor is unchanged. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lalvin Wine Yeast EC-1118 10pk - Campden Tablets (sodium metabisulfite) - 2 Oz(100 Tablets) - North Mountain Supply Food Grade Yeast Nutrient - 3.5 Ounce Jar --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/55850220-wine-yeast-ec-1118-10pk](https://www.desertcart.be/products/55850220-wine-yeast-ec-1118-10pk) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-06-25*
