Yeast question

What would be a yeast comparible to Lavin RC 212

Red Star has a Pasteur Red that i would think is comparable.

Pasteur Red: (Alcohol tolerance: ~14%)All reds (a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae) (Alcohol tolerance: ~14%) is a strong, even fermenter that produces full-bodied reds. It is necessary to ferment cool to prevent unwanted temperature increase due to fermentation.

RC-212: (Alcohol tolerance: ~14%) All reds( (a strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a very low foaming, Burgundy yeast used for traditionally aged full red wines (and young wines, also). It has good alcohol and high temperature tolerance as well as excellent color stability.

Thank you for your reply I will look and see if I have any on hand I know I have Red Star but not sure which flavors

That would be the closest before getting into the Enoferm brand which really have some nice yeasts.
