Lalvin | K1-V1116 Montpellier Wine Yeast (500g Brick)

Strong fermenter for ester production and challenging conditions

Lalvin K1 (V1116)™ is one of the highest ester producing strains in our portfolio. When fermented at low temperatures (16°C/61°F) with proper nutrition, it is a strong floral ester producer, especially in neutral or high-yielding varieties.

K1 (V1116) performs well in difficult conditions such as extreme temperatures, high alcohol (18% v/v) and low turbidity and is useful in restarting stuck fermentations, especially when relative fructose levels remain high.
