I started my second kit on Saturday WE Ausi Cab Sav. I was looking at the Lavin yeast chart earlier this week and saw that Bourgavin RC 212 is the yeast Lavin recommends for Cabs.
However, when I opened up the WE kit it had an EC-1118 yeast packet-champagne yeast. Confused, I called my local shop to see if this was a mistake and I was informed that WE uses EC-1118 in a lot of their kits. The reason being that WE makes batches with different yeasts and has a Somm taste them and recommend which one to package prior to putting out a kit.
So here's my question:
For those who switch out the yeast that comes with the kit, what have your results been?
