Low foam production and very low
sulphur production and high alcohol tolerance make it a good all
around yeast strain and great for sparkling wines. Also great for
carbonating sodas. Very compact sediment and neutral flavor. Also
good for cider wines and stuck fermentations. One pack is good for
5 gallons of must or 4 gallons of soda.

Most of the yeasts I see advertised have some kind of a number after it. This one doesn't, it lists "Montrachet" and "Cote de Blancs". Are there those numbers (which I assume are related to the strain of the yeast?) associated with these two types? Ultimately I'm looking for a user friendly for all alcohol purpose (not making bread) generic yeast that I can purchase in "bulk" . . .

Is there a great risk to creating vinegar from raw unfermented juice that has been exposed to air (before placing in the clean carboy), or do you need to have alcohol/wine in progress (plus O2) before vinegar is possible? i learn the most from Q&A here, thanks.

HI! i'm making a cider free of any chemicals (SO4) and currently have a fierce fermentation from wild yeast. I would like to add a champagne yeast to insure a solid finish. In your opinion, when is a good time to do this?: ASAP, during the first racking, or when the wild yeast stops? How do you feel about mixing yeasts in general? Thanks, as always.

HELP! I'm trying to make a higher gravity wine from organic cherry concentrate. I added sugar gradually over during primary, taking gravity measurments each time and measuring the total movement across the scale. I've calculated that I'm at about 15.3% right now. Here's my problem: I added more sugar, dissolved in cherry juice, once too often and now my yeast (Montrachet) has run out of gas. . . .

I recently crushed 8 cases of zinfandel grapes and added & mixed-in campden tablets to the "must". I then pitched my yeast. Should I have waited a day to pitch the yeast? Will the campden tablets kill off the pitched yeast?

Just prior to adding the yeast when making an 8 gallon batch of applecider wine, I noticed the package read "good up to 5 gallons". I wasn't able to add a 2nd package until now (48 hours after original package was added). Do you think I'll be ok? Any recommendations at this point?
