As I stated above I would never add yeast to water that is 120 degree, thats the temp of our water heater. I add the yeast to water that is 100 to 105

I keep posting a reply but it isn't here. I would never add yeast to water that was 120 degrees, I was only stating a fact that our hot water heater is set to 120, the water was between 100 and 105 when i added the yeast to it. The room temp is 72, sorry for that.

I would never add yeast to water that was 120 degrees, I meant our hot water tank was set to 120, I usually let it cool down to 100 - 105. and yes I do have a thermometer.

I just tried 2 different packs of yeast which I left on the counter overnight, one was an e c 1118 the other was red star, neither one worked the yeast just sank to the bottom with no foaming at all. The red star yeast I bought last July when I started making this wine but switched to the ec...

Everything was room temperature but nothing seemed to work, I even had other packs of champaign yeast some in red packs some in yellow (forgot the name) and those didn't work either bu they were right out of the fridge. I'll try the Go-Ferm, thanks much

I started making wine last summer only using a bottle of grape juice from the grocery store. It's quick, it tastes good but I'm having trouble finding the yeast. I like the Elvin ec 1118. I got a pack the other day from amazon and it didn't work, I'm thinking it was too cold outside where it...

Looking forward to educating myself on wine making
