I used Lalvin 71B-1122 to make a batch of makgeolli (막걸리 Korean rice wine aka makkoli) and the result tasted just like a dry white wine, even bringing out some fruity flavors from rice. If you like dry white wine and makgeolli you will probably love the results, might even get something a bit like brut if you carbonate. However, I like my makgeolli a bit sweeter, so probably won't be using this yeast again for makgeolli.
Been brewing with it for years--holds onto the honey flavor in meads.
Good quality wine yeast. Very active. Great for brewing cider. Those little guys are real troopers! It's probably a great yeast for mead too. This yeast LOVES honey.
Used this to brew some Mead recently. Turned out pretty well.
seems to work better than the regular yeast

Description
The Lalvin 71B 1122 yeast strain is ideal for creating fruity wines with an estery aroma and smooth flavor. It produces excellent red and white wines but is particularly suited for blush and semi sweet wines. This yeast develops complex aromas of tropical fruits from the production of esters and higher alcohols. It also softens the acidity of high acid wines by partially metabolizing malic acid. Net Weight: 0.176oz (5g) Specifications: Form: Dried Fermentation Temperature: 59A Degree (15A Degree) 86A Degree (30A Degree) Alcohol Tolerance: 14% GMO and Gluten Free Usage: Use one 5g pack per 1 to 6 US gallons (4.5L to 23L).
I like this yeast because it is a fast fermenter and tends to produce some nice young wines. I use this yeast the most and it keeps the alcohol levels in check so that I don't accidentally make rocket fuel.
Worked great in my Mead making. Nothing like pre-measured. Activated quickly and had my Mead ready in less than a month.
Good but high price. Sort it when you need it fast.
Worked as expected, arrived on time
Worked well for my elderberry wine
