Create your best easy drinking wines with Lalvin 71B Wine Yeast. This strain is used to ferment fresh and fruity wines, perfect for reds, whites, rosés and even fruit ciders.

This yeast strain has a short lag phase, meaning that fermentation is quick to start. Lalvin 71B Wine Yeast is known for producing high levels of esters for enhanced fruity aroma. It performs best in a fermentation temperature range of 59-86ºF. To begin fermentation, rehydrate yeast in 50 mL of water at a temperature of 95-98.6ºF. Gently stir to dissolve, then wait 20 minutes and add to the wine must. This packet of active dry yeast ferments a 1 to 6 gallon batch of wine or fruited cider.
