Lalvin EC-1116™ Wine Yeast (10 Pack) with B-Brite™ Cleaning Powder (35g) – Premium Yeast for Fruity Wines, Chenin Blanc and Cider + All-in-One Sanitizer for Home Winemaking
Craft Clean. Ferment Bold. Elevate Every Bottle.
Make every batch exceptional with this winemaking essentials bundle featuring 10 sachets of Lalvin EC-1116™ Wine Yeast and 1 pack of 35g B-Brite™ 3-in-1 Cleaning Powder. Lalvin K1-V1116™ from INRA Montpellier in France is a stellar choice for the passionate winemaker. This Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. cerevisiae yeast excels in low-temperature fermentations, producing an abundance of floral esters like isoamyl acetate, hexyl acetate, and phenyl ethyl acetate. These contribute to fresh floral aromas, enhancing neutral or high-yield grapes. It's also highly resilient in challenging conditions and a go-to for ice wine fermentation.
To support your craft from start to finish, this kit includes a 35g pack of B-Brite™ 3-in-1 Cleaning Powder—a powerful, phosphate-free cleaner that cleans, deodorizes, and brightens your winemaking equipment. Just dissolve and sanitize before fermentation to ensure a contamination-free start.
An essential combination for DIY beverage supplies, this bundle helps homebrewers ensure consistent fermentation and top-tier cleanliness in every batch.
