Review: The best strain of yeast for homemade wine - I started making wine and forgot that I did not have any yeast. Ordered my favorite on desertcart and it was here the next day! The package worked wonderfully.
Review: Great for making hard cider! - Great for cider making! Pitch one pack into a starter and then pitch the slurry into a 5g carboy and it’s perfect! I’ve also pitched the dry yeast directly into the carboy and it worked perfectly as well. Great price for the quantity, especially if you wash and re-use the second and third generations.
