Nice product
These are a gem when making wine. They work well in the fermentation process and it does not take away from the flavor of the fruit you are using.

Great Product
After watching numerous videos on small batch wine making, the general consensus is that the kind of yeast you use makes a difference. This yeast is working like a champ. Have not tasted the results yet but it appears to be working very well.

Used for bread
I was curious to see if this could be used for baking bread. I think it turned out just fine. The amount in these packets is less than what you get in the regular ones so I used 1½ packets. The bread rose as expected and tasted good. So, use this for wine making or for bread. Yeast is yeast when it comes right down to it.
