Jake Jags: Made about 10L of wine and it started working almost immediately, wine is still fermenting super fast, has been fermenting for days, it's at about 10% alcohol estimated, super easy and came in an envelope within 10 days of ordering! :) 10/10 would recommend to anyone making alcohol

aaron: Not sure how to review this yeast 2 gallons of Meade 6 pounds honey fermented two weeks the result was very dry. The yeast was is fully active within 24 hours and worked vigorously.

Maureen: First time trying this yeast and it was the best yeast I have used so far. I will definitely use this yeast for all my fruit wines. Fast and strong fermentation

Jeanna Townsend: I make lots of mead with this yeast but this is the first time I used some purchased from Amzn Prime.
I hydrated 2 packs and the yeast was clearly dead. I pitched it anyways, and lag phase is now over 48 hours - hopefully it pulls through.
Expiration date was fine, not sure why or how or who’s fault but I won’t be buying online again.

Stewart Spicer: I made some of the worst mead I've ever tasted using this yeast. However, more practice and buying a few packs from a local store showed me that the fault was all mine. After I learned better what I was doing, I was able to make good and consistent dry meads with this yeast

QuinnQuinn: I wanted to make sure my mead came out alright before writing a review and yes, it did come out well! It was my first time making mead and many different sites were giving me different options on yeast. Some said never to use wine yeast or champagne yeast. But a majority did say using wine yeast would yield a less stronger mead, which I wanted - and after the fermentation, my taste test proved it was a weaker or just as strong as a mild beer. My mead is now aging and the flavor will only get better from here so, yes, this yeast works well for the newbie mead brewer! Again, this gave me a weak alcohol content! Love it! 👍🏼

(I also store all my yeast (bread, wine, etc) in the freezer - highly recommended).

Dave Henderson: This yeast works well in ciders but created some really harsh alcohol flavors in some blue berry wine. I'm sure that's my fault though. Good yeast but quite a bit more expensive than it should be. Gotta make a buck though, so it's understandable.

jacobo: The yeast is a total workhorse. I made some mead with it and it immediately started working when it usually takes at least a day. Good stuff. It is a bit pricey however.
