This is a workhorse yeast. Always keep a few on hand.

This is a workhorse yeast. I use it exclusively in all of my meads and fruit wines. Efficient and active fermentation without the off-flavors. Always keep a few on hand.

Really though, this is a great yeast with kick ass results. High alcohol and good fermentation makes this yeast a good buy and bubbling results. Used for Apple juice, grape concentrate and crushed grapes. They all turned out great. Don't use a whole pack for a gallon. A little goes a long way. One pack will work for 6 gallons easily. Less is more.
Update: Can leave a yeast taste if you use a whole pack for a gallon. However, for 5 gallons, it made a fantastic mead in 6 weeks. A bit dry... but very potent. I may add more sugar in my next batch. I still have to recommend!!! Try it!!!

Works surprisingly well.

I used it to make 16 gallons of apple wine from home made apple cider and 1.8 lbs/gallon of white granulated sugar. The vessels were kept at about 60 degrees F. and allowed to ferment for about 3 months. The results were excellent. A very clear, medium wine (alcohol 20%+) with a nice apple cidery flavor. You wouldn't want to drink too much though, since the alcohol content is rather high. I will definitely use this yeast again if I make more apple wine.
Correction: After re-calibrating my refractometer I obtained an alcohol by volume of 17% which seems more in line with what I would have expected.

I ordered this to make homemade ginger beer. I prefer my ginger beer to be ultra gingery so making it at home allows me to make it that way. When the recipe calls for just a few granules, follow the directions! I used a little too much of the yeast and ended up wearing the ginger beer in my hair when I opened the bottle. I use bottles with lids that clamp down. I plan on making my own root beer and apple cider next.
The yeast arrived fresh and ready to go

This yeast had no problem getting going very strongly when I sprinkled even a partial packet in a gallon of must. I've used a few packets, and I've got plenty of packets in the fridge waiting to go. I didn't know how yeast would do coming from an Amazon warehouse and being shipped in warm weather, but I had it shipped to Texas in April with no ill effects. It's working great.
