This year I have been experimenting with what I think is a great yeast. I make mostly red fully dry wines and have been having great success with a composite strain BM4X4 yeast. This is a commercial yeast that is sold in 1 KG quantities by the manufacturer. I have found a dealer on Amazon that sells 5 gram quantities of this yeast for $3. This yeast is a combination of two yeast strains BM47 and another... I forget the other strain. BM47 produces a great mouth feel but can have trouble getting started during the lag phase. The companion yeast strain carries the early primary fermintation and is later joined by BM47. I have made two batches of Red wine with this yeast and have really enjoyed the end product.
Feel free to boast on your favorite yeast!
