Lavlin 71B exclusively for fruit wines.

You ask 10 different wine makers, you will probably get 11 different answers. With that said, we like 71B for strawberries.

 

[Pumpkinman]

71B-1122 for fruit wines as well

K1-V1116, Lalvin says for grapes and fresh fruit.

Today was the last day for fresh strawberries from NC at the farmers market, 2 more gallons will hit the freezer tonight. Have to count how many strawberries I have in the freezer now because I forgot how many weeks I bought 2 gallons. I plan to blend some strawberry with peach so I will wait for Red Haven peaches next month and start them both at the same time.

D47 all the way. Excellent for fruit wines.

SammyK, I bet that would be killer...strawberry and peach. I cant get a decent peach flavor yet, but blending with the strawberries, sounds real good.
