Review: Works great for mead - Not sure if I should write it while using it or not... nevertheless seems like a great product. I use it for mead and ferments very well And, wrll since it comes in a five pack guess you have to make 5 gallons. Win for all!
Review: Turns honey into alcohol magic… - I buy this Lalvin EC-1118 yeast to turn the honey from my beekeeping hobby into mead. I also get a tiny army of microscopic Vikings that turn sugar into pure bliss. You dump this stuff into 1 part honey and 4 parts water and it immediately goes to work like, “Ah yes… we feast.” Within hours it’s bubbling away, sounding like a cauldron in a medieval tavern. My bees worked all summer making that honey, and these yeast beasties exclaim, “Excellent. We shall make this legendary!” The fermentation is clean, fast, and strong. This yeast doesn’t mess around. Weak, sweet mead? No. This stuff forges dry, crisp, heroic mead that would absolutely get you invited into Valhalla. It also has a ridiculous alcohol tolerance, which means it keeps chewing through sugar and leaving an alcohol byproduct long after other yeasts would have curled up and cried. Best of all, the flavor comes out smooth, not funky or weird. Just pure honey turned into something that makes friends say, “Wow, you made this?” and I say, “Yes… with bees and fermentation science.” If you keep bees and want to turn their hard work into something magical, this yeast is essential. It’s reliable, powerful, and makes mead taste like it came from an ancient saga instead of a garage. Five stars. My bees make honey. Lalvin EC-1118 makes it legendary. 🍯🍷🐝
