Lalvin EC-1118 Sparkling Wine Yeast – Our Most Popular Yeast Option

Elevate your home brewing experience with Fermentis dry yeasts, our preferred choice for a variety of beer projects. Known for their durability and forgiving nature, these yeasts stand up well to storage, making them a convenient option for your brewing needs. For optimal performance, we suggest refrigerating yeast packets if you plan to store them for more than six months.

Lalvin EC-1118 Sparkling Wine Yeast works well for just about any home brewing project where a dry finish is desired. EC-1118 has a very clean taste, adding little if any yeast flavours. It is quite tolerant of a range of temperatures and conditions making it appropriate for fruit wines and ciders in addition to the sparkling wines it was bred for. High alcohol tolerance.

We recommend EC-1118 for most home brewing projects – if you’re not sure what yeast to use for your non-beer project, this is a great place to start.
