Yeast For Making Wine
There are many yeast for making wine. Yeast don't just turn sugar to alcohol, they also add other characteristics to your finished wine and can affect the flavour, feel and aroma of the finished wine.
Depending on the style of wine you are making, choosing the best yeast for making wine will mean your wine will have the flavours you want.
Using a process call biotransformation, yeast east sugars, flavour esters and other compounds in your grape juice and, as they digest them, they turn them into new compounds causing your wine to taste very different to the original grape juice.
Yeast can add flavours to your finished wine. Choosing the right wine yeast for the style of wine you are making is important as the yeast add flavours. Using a yeast for red wine can add a spicy punch, and earthiness and even add to the jammy fruity flavours, perhaps not something you want in a chardonnay. Where as a yeast for white wine may add an acidity and a tropical fruit flavour to the finished wine.
Yeast can also affect the mout feel of a finished wine, with different yeast strains affecting the dryness, the acidity and body of a wine.
Not long ago, there were only a few strains of wine yeast available. We now have a large range of wine yeast for you to use to compliment the style of wine you are making.
So, when making your next wine, think about the yeast you are going to use and choose a wine yeast to compliment the wine you are brewing.

You will have the fermenter foaming all over the floor and walls but you will have the real quality that you want .
Made fruit wines of all types for years and on some as a hobby , had a go last year base level wine kit and so so ,a bit sweet ok if you only want to get well oiled . But this added to a kit is wow for a nearly sixty year old wine drinker just try adding half the bottle to your next 30 bottle kit you will never go back.
Very good works a treat.makes the wine look professional and attractive to the coinesseur.
I made my first ever wine, blackberry wine using this bag after following David on his Youtube video, great product, less mess and easy to use. Thank you David for your help and support with my order.
Easy kit to brew. Pleasant, very refreshing apple flavour ideal for lazy summer days in the sun. Very impressed and intend to try others in this range.👍
Brilliant wine, easy to make and tastes superb.
Have made this Grapefruit IPA as one of my regular brews, always enjoy it's refreshing and citrusy taste for a change. Best to use liquid malt extract in place of sugar for best results. Have 40 pints brewing now !
Young's Cellar 7 Pino Grigio is very simple to make and never goes wrong if you follow the instructions and have the right equipment. It only takes about a week to ferment and, if you let it mature for about a month or so, it tastes better than the average supermarket wine. Brewbitz are a great supplier with a personal touch and fast delivery
I have using this product for many years and never had a failure
Arrived quickly and as described
I used this product to clear three brews: 1 gallon of Cyser, 1 gallon of elderberry melomel and 1 gallon of metheglin. All 3 were crystal clear within 24 hours. I will certainly use it again.
Wonderful wine..used to pick my own fruit in the hedgerows for years…..no more have tried most of the different wines and they are all fantastic!

I buy this wine regularly and get a very reliable service from the team at Brewbitz
I'd decided to make a port-style wine, so I was looking for a yeast with good tolerances for both sugar and alcohol (since I would be feeding the fermenting must with sugar to reach as near to 20% alcohol as I could) - and this one fits the bill.
This strain also offers the possibility of producing a higher level of glycerol, which won't go amiss.
After a month and three additions of sugar it's still bubbling away.
This is the first time I've used oak chips, but these came at a good price and were delivered swiftly
Lovely wine and excellent service from BB
