The media could not be loaded.  ..and tastes even better than advertised.I am satisfied.

Great product I'm sure, if we used it correctly.

I mean it's a package of yeast. How hard is it to NOT get 5 stars?

Excellent

Poor results from this yeast.

Despite the other poor reviews, I had a really good turnout with this yeast. There was a review that said it worked hard for 36 hours or so and that's what I was looking for when I started my cider - so thank you to that review. It was true as well! In three days my ciders starting gravity of 1.045 plummeted to 1.001. It flocculated well even in temperature ranges of 80+ degrees. I made the cider cold and let it warm up to room temperature and had to scramble to cool it down. It started fermenting when it got back down to 80 degrees and survived being at 89 degrees for a few hours.This yeast left about 3/4' trub with the cider. It had a smooth taste and a decent balance of dry/sweetness for this cider which was exactly what I was looking for. I also added Wyeast yeast enzyme for wine into it. The yeast despite hot temperatures preformed perfectly and at a great price.

I really like the price for this product. But in terms of it's function it didn't work so well for me. It may have been because I didn't know the correct way to use it but my products did not come out as expected.

Powdery. Does not floculate out readily. Not a great flavor profile either. Used it to make a hoppy mild beet and the bready character of the yeast was a disappointment.
