Ued too much first time, Brew way yeasty and very dry but I drank it anyway and it carries a punch. Bought WTEAST specifically designed for Hard Cider. It flopped miserably and I am redoing it using the LALVIN EC1118. The brew is bubbeling along quiet well with added nutriants and additional sugar. As for me and my house I will stay with LALVIN EC1118 because it works, or at least so far it does. I make my batches in one gallong containers. Large batching just dosen't work for me for some reason and brewers cant seem to tell me why. I believe the WYEAST was bad. I will try white labs for cider in the future to see how it does, but LALVIN ec 1118 seems to work o.k. Experimentation will reveal the truth. I use 1.5 grams per gallon with 8 tablespoons of bakers super refined sugar. I use to wild ferment and that never gave any punch, just made it bubbely. Just remember when you get a finished product it will not taste like apple cider but more like a dry wine. I will continue to keep LALVIN on hand as a back up or as a permanent starter. Review: Works quickly for me - This is one of my go to yeasts. For me It dissolves well in water with no clumping. It begins to ferment quickly. I think it is one of the fastest yeast to finish. ## Features - Recommended for all types of wine, including sparkling wine, late harvest, and cider - May also be used to restart stuck fermentations - Model Number: EC-1118B - Country Of Origin: Canada ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002LQBSIO | | Age Range Description | 18+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #110,339 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #57 in Winemaking Yeasts & Cultures | | Brand | Lallemand Inc | | Brand Name | Lallemand Inc | | Coin Variety 1 | Yeast | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 554 Reviews | | Included Components | Yeast | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.02 kg | | Item Type Name | beverages | | Item Weight | 13.61 g | | Leavening Agent Type | Active Dry Yeast | | Manufacturer | Home Brew Stuff | | Model Number | EC-1118B | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | EC-1118B | | Set Name | Lallemand Inc Active Dry Yeast for Beverages | | Size | 0.18 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Vegan | | UPC | 786173760599 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Lallemand Inc - **Item Form:** Powder - **Item Package Quantity:** 1 - **Item Weight:** 0.03 Pounds - **Number of Items:** 1 ## Images ![Lallemand Inc EC-1118B Lalvin Yeast - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811krbQYinL.jpg) ![Lallemand Inc EC-1118B Lalvin Yeast - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81IntZHWP9L.jpg) ![Lallemand Inc EC-1118B Lalvin Yeast - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cFA4CdIuL.jpg) ![Lallemand Inc EC-1118B Lalvin Yeast - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Wq+unBR-L.jpg) ![Lallemand Inc EC-1118B Lalvin Yeast - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XSLvTr1RL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LALVIN Yeast *by T***M on November 7, 2012* First time using yeast to make hard cider.
