Product description
The fermentation characteristics of the EC1118™ — extremely low production of foam, volatile acid and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) — make this strain an excellent choice. This strain ferments well over a very wide temperature range, from 10° to 30°C (50° to 86°F) and demonstrates high osmotic and alcohol tolerance. Good flocculation with compact lees and a relatively neutral flavour and aroma contribution are also properties of the EC1118™.
- Selected by the Institut Oenologique de Champagne (IOC) in Epernay, France. Reference strain for sparkling wine.
- Is the original, steady low foamer, and is popular for barrel fermentations. It is an excellent choice for secondary fermentations of sparkling wine.
- Ferments well at low temperatures and flocculates with compact lees.
- Under low nutrient conditions Lalvin EC1118™ can produce high amounts of SO2 (up to 50 ppm) and, as a result, may inhibit malo-lactic fermentation
