Product Description
Lalvin 71B-1122 Wine Yeast
The 71B strain is a rapid starter with a constant and complete fermentation between 15° and 30°C (59° and 86°F) that has the ability to metabolize high amounts (20% to 40%) of malic acid.
In addition to producing rounder, smoother, more aromatic wines that tend to mature quickly, it does not extract a great deal of phenols from the must so the maturation time is further decreased. The 71B is used primarily by professional winemakers for young wines such as vin nouveau and has been found to be very suitable for blush and residual sugar whites.
Characteristics:
- Recommended for white, rose, and red wine production
- Aroma - Fruity
- Fermentation Range - 59 - 86°F
- Alcohol Tolerance - 14% ABV
