Description

DC-118 is known for its robust and reliable fermentation kinetics with high alcohol tolerance. This is one of the most used yeast strains by distillers. Its sensory contribution is considered neutral, as it gives very little yeast sensory contribution to the wine. Great for secondary fermentations in bottles (also known as Champagne yeast). It is also  a favorite amongst Mead Producers.

Recommendation

Can be used for any fruit wine and for both red and white wine made from grapes. Does well with secondary bottle fermentations (producing carbonated cider and MCC’s), honey and sugar washes.
