From 31 March some prices & rural freight will increase. In recent years freight costs have increased significantly. We have absorbed those costs but can no longer do so and will be adjusting pricing and freight charges to more closely reflect the actual costs of shipping. We have yet to calculate those increases but are likely to be an increase in the prices of bulky items like buckets and an increase for rural charges. We will try and keep the URBAN cost of shipping ingredients that can fit in a courier satchel at the same $8 and free over $100.
Lalvin 71B Winemaking Yeast.
Use 5g for 1 batch of wine up to 23 litres. It is not recommended to split the yeast for smaller batches.
Suitable for whites, reds, rose, mead, cider.
Characteristics:
To "pitch" (add it to your wine) your yeast you should rehydrate for 20 minutes first:
Lalvin 71B was isolated by the INRA (National Agricultural Research Institute) in Narbonne, France. Lalvin 71B is known for making blush and semi-sweet wines with a tropical fruit character. Long-lived aromas are due to its production of relatively stable esters and higher alcohols. Lalvin 71B also softens high acid musts by partially metabolizing malic acid.
Suitable for sweet or semi-sweet wines as once the alcohol content has reached 14% the fermentation will stop and any sugar will remain as residual sugar.
