Red Star Cotes Des Blancs Wine Yeast (10 Pack) - Great for Making Wine Cider Mead Kombucha at Home - 5 g Sachets - Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Sold by CAPYBARA Distributors Inc.

Makes a good mead!

The taste is great. I find it easy to use house stays at about 74F have done 1 gallon and 5 gallon wine batches and fermentation is done in a week. Great quality and best money value.

Exactly what I wanted

Have purchased yeast from another seller in the past with short expiration dates but every yeast that we purchased from Capybara has been viable and dated to expire years into the future, this one is no exception. Fermentation of our first tea wine kicked off within just a couple of hours with this Red Star yeast and we are looking forward to experimenting with a few different recipes (meads, wines, ciders) with this Cotes des Blancs yeast.

Good Quality Brand

Great viability and very consistent across packets. Can't go wrong with these yeast packs for a slightly sweeter fermentation.

Survived shipping just fine. I was surprised to find mine came with a rather short shelf life of around 5 months. I didn't get these for wine-making, but rather for just bread. I like to use smaller packets vs. opening large bags as I only usually need just a small amount of yeast at a time.

Decent price, quick shipment and an overall good transaction. I won’t know for a while how the product worked out but I have no reason to believe it won’t work well.
