Product Description

This yeast has good tolerance to ethanol and free sulfur dioxide, and ferments to dryness. Premier cuvee is noted as a very low producer of foam, urea, and fusel oils. It is recommended for reds, whites and especially champagne. This yeast is reported to perform well restarting stuck fermentations. Winemakers have remarked that premier cuvee is the fastest, cleanest, and most neutral fermenter offered by red Star. Ferments best between 7 Degrees degree C (45 Degrees - 95 Degrees F). preparation: this envelope contains enough yeast to make up to 5 gallons (20-23 liters). for best results, dissolve yeast by adding about 1/4 cup (50ml) of water at about 38-41 Degrees Celsius(100-105 Degrees Fahrenheit) after opening, the yeast should be used within 1 month and kept under refrigeration. Alcohol tolerance: 14-16 percent , reds, whites, champagnes and stuck fermentations.

Excellent fast yeast!

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2019

Color: RedVerified Purchase

This stuff goes full tilt crazy as soon as you pitch it. My god the energy level of these mighty little titans makes you understand why the only live a few days! Here's the deal...this yeast is fast and great for carbonating. As for your refined wine crafters, this yeast does not stay active long enough to convert all sugar and produce maximum flavor.
So it is a great carbonating yeast that will produce a fizzy medium alcohol beverage in about 6-8 days. But if you are not in a hurry and want max flavor, there are more suitable yeast from Red Star.

You can use this in place of rapid-rise yeast for baking bread!

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2020

Color: RedVerified Purchase

During this pandemic episode we're experiencing, I've had the devil's own time finding Fleishmann's Rapid-Rise Yeast for my "sit overnight" bread recipe. While I wasn't sure about this, I thought it would be worth a try. I prepped a bowl of dough last night around 7 p.m. and, 12 hours later, voila! The dough had risen just as it would have with Fleishmann's! It baked up beautifully, too. Glad I got this ... and thought I would mention it works for bread, just in case other bakers out there are wondering the same.
Everyone stay safe and be well.

Consistently Effective!

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have been using Red Star's Premier Cuvee for over 15 years. The yeast works very well. I usually store it in my refrigerator, as I ferment my wine only 3-4 times a year. But I can leave it in my refrigerator for 9-10 months and then use it -- and it works brilliantly.

Although one package is good for 5 gallons, I usually use 2 packages for my 6.5 gallon fermenter. Over the years, I think I had only one slow start from this type of yeast. It yields between 13 - 16% alcohol. The time varies from 3.5 weeks to 5 weeks (depending on the temperature in the house).

Very active yeast

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017

Color: RedVerified Purchase

I use this stuff for carbonating beverages like ginger beer, soft apple cider, etc. In 24-48 hours it does the trick nicely. It's a very clean yeast, not foamy, and does not noticeably change the flavor after a short ferment. Be careful - this yeast works fast. A refrigerator slows it down a lot, but does not totally stop it. You'll want to drink any bottles containing live yeast within a couple weeks, or the pressure will get too high.
I had never used this yeast to ferment anything all the way to dryness before, but decided to try it with a small batch of cider. 1 month into the ferment, it's looking pretty good.

The product worked like a champ

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2016

Color: RedVerified Purchase

I am in the process of learning how to make ginger ale. I previously used baking yeast but the flavor was strong and the carbonation was not quite right. I had read that using champagne yeast would take care of both of those issues. It did! The product worked like a champ. It also arrived quickly so that I could get started on this ginger ale improvement. The taste was clean and those tiny effervescent bubbles made my ginger ale sing. Thanks to Red Star for providing an affordable product that works so well.

Fast workers!

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020

Color: RedVerified Purchase

I am using this yeast to carbonate homemade soda and the yeast really takes off! There does appear to be some suspension of the yeast in the bottles that requires careful pouring but carbonates great and so far (only one batch at this point) there is no yeast flavor in the final product.

Arrived with an expiration of over 3 years from now, very fresh, great seller.

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2019

Color: RedVerified Purchase

Arrived in Nov of 2019 with a December 2022 expiration stamped on every package. That's OVER 3 years of shelf life. The Red Star/ Lesaffre website says 3 year shelf life, so this must be straight from the factory.
I won't comment on the flavor or performance of this yeast, it's world famous and industry leading, that info is all available on the web.
Very satisfied.

Good white wine yeast

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2020

Color: RedVerified Purchase

This is my new favorite white wine yeast. It tends to slow down a bit quicker than other wine yeasts (towards the end of fermentation) but it makes up for the time by vigorously fermenting early on. I think this yeast has a less yeasty flavor than many other wine yeasts too. It works great for distilling too.

Excellent Product.

Reviewed in India on November 8, 2020

Color: RedVerified Purchase

This is really a superb product. I could easily achieve 16% to 18% ABV in my batches. There is absolutely no off- flavour even if you get late in Racking. And the pungency of alcohol taste is already so rounded, I wonder whether it will be even perceivable after aging.

Those who are targeting high ABV like 16 or above should be careful. It really becomes too strong a drink after 14%. So keep the sugars low for lower ABV.

I bought this primarily for three qualities claimed in net literature

1) Temperature range from 7 to 35 degree centigrade
2) ABV upto 18%.
3) No off flavours.

2nd & 3rd point have proven to be true. 1st point will be verified in peak winter and summer.

Though I haven't used Lalvin 1118 - which is same (as per met literature) as Premier Cuvee, regarding Alcohol percentage & Temperature range, but Cuvee seems to be better than it in two aspects:

1) Lower Price
2) Lower or negligible Fusel alcohols & off flavour

Actually, 2nd point here will be better verified in summers.
