what kind of yeast can you use to make wine
Here is a little breakdown for what type of yeast works well with which fruit: Montrachet: A very good general use wine yeast for most fruits. When in doubt use this yeast. One of the more neutral yeasts available so that the fruit flavor is what comes through the most. Cotes Des Blanc/ K1V-1126: These yeast strains are very good for fruit that produces a white wine look at the end. Wines such as apple or pear will work very well with this strain of yeast.
Lalvin 71B-1122. The 71B-1122 is a red wine yeast, great for cysers and other melomels especially ones using dark fruit like blackberries and cherries. Since it can metabolize maltic acid it produces a rounder, smoother, more aromatic mead that tends to mature more quickly than meads with the other yeasts. Alcohol Tolerance: 14%.
