Yeast L. EC-1118 Sparkling Lalvin Active Freeze-dried AKA Prise de Mousse. Saccharomyces bayanus. A low foaming- vigorous and fast fermenter good for both reds and whites. It is also ideal for ciders and Sparkling wines.
The EC-1118 strain was isolated, studied and selected from Champagne fermentations. Due to
its competitive factor and ability to ferment equally well over a wide temperature range,
the EC-1118 is one of the most widely used yeasts in the world.
OENOLOGICAL PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS
The fermentation characteristics of the EC-1118 - extremely low production of foam,
volatile acid and H2S - make this strain an excellent choice. This strain
ferments well over a very wide temperature range, from 7° to 35°C (45° to 95°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.
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.
