EC-1118 (Champagne) Lalvin - 500 Gram Brick Species: Wine Fermentation Temp Range (°F): 50-86 Apparent Attenuation Range (%): n/a Flocculation: Low Alcohol Tolerance: 18% Pitching/Fermentation: The fermentation characteristics of the EC-1118 — extremely low production of foam, volatile acid and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) — make this strain an excellent choice. This strain ferments well over a very wide temperature range, from 10° to 30°C (50° to 86°F) and demonstrates high osmotic and alcohol tolerance. Good flocculation with compact lees and a relatively neutral flavor and aroma contribution are also properties of the EC-1118. Notes: The EC-1118 strain is recommended for all types of wines, including sparkling, and late harvest wines and cider. It may also be used to restart stuck fermentations.
