AKA Prise de Mousse. Saccharomyces bayanus. A low foaming, vigorous and fast fermenter good for both reds and whites. It is also ideal for ciders and sparkling wines. A very competitive yeast that will inhibit wild yeasts. It will restart stuck fermentations because of good alcohol and sulfite tolerance. This is a very neutral yeast that will have very little effect on the varietal character of the grape. A popular strain that ferments fully and flocculates well producing compact lees. Good for cool fermentations. Champagne, dry reds, whites, ciders and sparkling. 45-95° F (7-35° C) alcohol tolerance 18%

great for hard cider Review by Shawn

Rating

I used this yeast for my first stab at hard cider. It performs as advertised, took off fast and went strong for about 3 weeks ! I just tasted the cider for the first and took a hydrometer reading. It tastes ok ( young ) and the gravity is 1.005.

All is well that ends well ! (Posted on 10/20/11)

My go-to yeast Review by Danno

Rating

Ferments quickly and clean, tolerant of poor environments and vintner's mistakes, compact lees that grip the bottom with a death-grip until you rinse it off - what's not to like? (Posted on 5/4/11)
