## Description

Product Description

Review: Top quality & great results - Excellent yeast doesn't leave a very yeast taste. A little fiddly to use as you have to create a starter to get the yeast ready to be introduced to the main brew. Pretty simple really & only needs to be left for about 20 mins before you can use it. Great results & allows a very high alcohol content (there are photos out there of me falling over drunk after a couple or 3 pints). Highly recommended!
Review: The yeast is 'berry' happy... - Quite new to this hobby. This video is my second batch using the same yeast after pitching it in the first batch, reusing the settled yeast (yeast cake/lees) by refilling the demijohn after racking off the first batch. I didn’t add any extra yeast for the second batch, and this video is about 6 hours after adding the new must to the demijohn. As you can see, the yeast is berry happy. I did wake the yeast up before pitching it for the first batch, by rehydrating 1g in 2 tbsps warm water for about 20 minutes. (I put it under my turtles basking lamp, temp about 30-35°. It got nice and foamy.) First batch fermented from OG 1.050 to FG 1.000 in about 5 days (pitched 31 December, racked and bottled 5 January) at room temp. I’m waiting for the bottles to carbonate, but so far I’m pleased. Can't wait for this batch to finish. The first batch was kiwi and passion fruit, but as you can see from the video this is strawberry and hibiscus. I'm hoping for a nice, dry, sharp and tangy sparkling beverage.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do the sachets have a use by date? I want to buy bulk but dont want to find out they al need using by the end of the year. Thanks**
A: Julia - thank you for your question. We work directly with Lallemand, hence our yeasts are always fresh! On average, our yeasts have 1 to 2 years of expiration left. Our current batch of 71B expires January 2026. So you will have plenty of time to use these packets. 
As well, Lalvin yeasts are very robust and many costumers keeep using them past their expiry date. You can extend the yeast ability to ferment by keeping them on your refrigerator or making sure it never exceeds 15c temperature.
Hope this information is useful!
