- Alcohol tolerance 18% v/v *subject to fermentation conditions.
- Low relative nitrogen demand (under controlled laboratory conditions)
- Short lag phase and high fermentation vigour. Cooling may be required to control this high vigour.
- Very low production of H2S under low YAN conditions
- Low production of SO2 binding compounds.
- Moderate relative potential for SO2 production (can produce high levels of SO2 under low nutrient conditions, up to 50mg/L).

Lalvin EC-1118 Dosage: 25g/hL (2lb/1000gal) of Active Dried Yeast (this will provide an initial cell population of approximately 5 x106 viable cells/mL)
How to use Lalvin EC-1118 Champagne yeast
- Add 300g (10.6oz) of Go-Ferm Protect Evolution™ to 6L (1.5gal) of 40-43°C (104-110°F) clean, chlorine-free water. Stir until a homogenous suspension free of lumps is achieved.
- When the temperature of this suspension is between 35-40°C (95-104°F), sprinkle 250g (8.8oz) of yeast slowly and evenly onto the surface of the water, whilst gently stirring. Ensure any clumps are dispersed.
- Allow standing for 20 minutes before further gently mixing.
- Mix the rehydrated yeast with a little juice, gradually adjusting the yeast suspension temperature to within 5-10°C (9-18°F) of the juice/must temperature.
- Inoculate into the must.
Notes:
- Steps 1-5 should be completed within 30 minutes.
- It is best to limit the first juice/must volume addition to one-tenth of the yeast suspension volume and wait 10 minutes before the addition to juice.
- To minimize cold shock, ensure temperature changes are less than 10°C (18°F).
- It is recommended that juice / must be inoculated no lower than 18°C (64°F).
- It is recommended to use complex nutrition source such as Fermaid®
