Blackberry Melomel - which yeast?

[Stressbaby]

Inspired by Coastal, and not having enough home-grown berries for wine, I'm starting a small batch of blackberry melomel.

I have D47, 71B-1122, or EC-1118. Any suggestions?

D47 seems to work well with the honey. if straight juice ec-1118 will probably do well also.

D47 seems to work well with the honey. if straight juice ec-1118 will probably do well also.

EC-1118 will blow all the aromatics and some of the more volatile out the airlock.

D47 if not kept below 70F/21C will produce a lot of fusels.

Of the three mentioned, I'd go with the 71B.

But if you want to stick with the usual suspects then RC-212 (nutrient hog) if you want to go mail order/exotic, then BDX......

I'd use 71b-1122.

71B it is then. Thanks folks.

I'm glad I inspired you! Use the D47. That's what a good friend of mine uses on his.
