Red Star Sampler Wine Yeast (10 Pack) - Great for Making Wine Cider Mead Kombucha at Home - 5 g Sachets - Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Sold by CAPYBARA Distributors Inc.

I’m a homebrewer and I ordered these yeasts to start my first batch of mead. Oh boy I was so pleasantly surprised! I used the little red packet—one pack for quite a bit of starter honey—and it worked so well. My mead was bubbling within a day (so the yeast was fresh and active!) and the resulting brew was so delicious that several friends literally thought I had served them store bought red wine (I used cherries to flavor my wine so to their credit, it was dry and red). Honestly if you’ve never made wine or mead before blooming this yeast was very very easy. No regrets. And for the price I’ll be ordering this again. 10/10!

Very pleased with performance. I only needed a portion of the package but it was still worth buying. Used it to make ‘real’ Apple Cider Vinegar at home.

Yeasts are currently fermenting a mead very well. Very active with lots of bubbles. Will have to wait a few months to test the flavor

Only 2 out of the 5 types of yeast are suitable for what I brew being mead, cider, & sherry. The Blanc, and the Cuvee, those two I would say are best with the Blanc fermenting stronger and quicker. Both getting to about 10-11% ABV. The other 3 do not perform as well with a lower ABV as well as an after flavor that is tolerable, but undesirable. But would probably be more suitable for an Ale or Logger. My favorite being. The Cuvée, leaving behind a very subtle, sweet, flowery aftertaste if noticeable at all. While my least being the cote des blancs. It would be best for bread! But having this variety pack allows you to experiment with different yeast and taught me the extent of flavor, fermentation time, ABV. Etc.. If just getting into this hobby, strongly recommended!!!

From fruit to grape wines, this proved to be a great selection. The batches turned out good, and I am now juiced on my own supply, as I write this :-)

Works well, keeps for a long time in the fridge

Very affordable collection for home winemakers. Whether established or a newbie.

Works like well. Make sure to look for the expiration as some can just be a few months of use, while others for a year or two. Be sure to keep refrigerated to maintain freshness.
