Shipping was fast. I used this to make two gallons of a traditional mead. Very fast fermentation at 65 degree room temperature. Finished product yielded 12% ABV (used a bit less honey in that one) and 15% ABV. I’m quite pleased with the results.
I've made meade/melomiel, and wine so far and this yeast is amazing. A very gentle, slow ferment.
I made mead with this, I'm currently aging it so I haven't tasted it but it smells quite strongly of alcohol so I'm confident in saying this product works well.
Good carbonation kick. Use with yeast promoter and you'll get some intense carbonation and pressure.
Great yeast, but very slow to ferment, even at elevated temperature. Good for wine or champagne.

Decent product, well packaged, fair price. I would buy again.
fermenting perfectly right now.
I purchased this to make ginger beer and it turned out great.
I'm using it to make mead, and so far has produced a lot of alcohol.
