Top fermenting yeast which leaves residual sugar after fermentation. Medium flocculation, attenuation low. Temperature range: 65-75° F. 125 ml. extra large pack means a starter is not needed for 5 gallons of mead.

DOA
This yeast did not survive the trip.
Nice...
This yeast is great. I can't comment on my current batch of cider I have with it, Because I just started it last week. But I have used for cider and mead in the past. Lets the flavor of what you are brewing to shine. You really need a secondary so to allow for settling. The finished product is sweeter then the dry, but not as sweet as the commercially produced ciders.
Mead Yeast
So far so good. Really nice stuff started slow and steady and still going.
Perfect sweetness and very smooth
Used this for a mead with 3lbs honey and 1.2lbs fruit per gallon. Made a liter of malt/honey mixed starter and brewed 8 gallons. I'd used Pasteur Champagne yeast for previous meads, and this Wyeast was a revelation. Drinkable right out of the secondary, and lovely in 9 months. The previous meads were only drinkable after a year and a half.
