Wonderful for Fruit Wines!I have used this on 2 batches of fruit wine. The first was Salmonberry & white sugar, it turned out VERY strong and dry! My neighbor was impressed! The next is Banana & brown sugar, which smells like banana bread! I haven't decanted it yet, smells like less alcohol but I used much less sugar in this one. Haven't tried it with grapes yet.

It's good for more than typical brewingWe used this yeast to make hard apple cider. Used one full package in a gallon of cider. The abv ended up at 18%. Dry, but good!

Great customer serviceGreat product and awesome customer service.they knew exactly what I was looking for and ahipped it the same day
I've allowed the yeast to expire in my root beer refills. All I need is yeast. Is this the same yeast used in the root beer kit? It looks the same to me.

is this the proper yeast for hard cider - Premier Cuvee Dry Wine Yeast
Asked by: raymillison
The yeast that comes in our hard cider kit is our Safale S-04 Dry Ale yeast, but this yeast can be substituted for certain cider recipes. However, the Safale is overall the best yeast to use.
