Re: Same Yeast 2 differnt manufactures???
If your talking about 1118 they both manufacture it. Many strains are produced by multiple company's, the chico strain is a good example. Wyeast, whitelabs, and safale all make the chico strain.

Re: Same Yeast 2 differnt manufactures???
Ok, I was talking more about the 71B I picked up for my brandy, but I did not realize that different manufactures propagate the same yeasts. Does that mean that if you buy from the different company's that the yeast will behave the same way as far as smell, finishing times, starting times and such?

Provided that you change nothing at all, the end result will be the same. Like using shell or bp fuel.

Re: Same Yeast 2 differnt manufactures???
I'm gona check out a couple different critters from Lallemand. They have what appears to be some good yeast just for distillation. Yah I know most of the brands have yeasts that are supposed to be just for that, but after doing a bit of reading I am convinced to try them out. I really like the way the Lalvin ferments.

Lalvin EC-1118 is my favourite wine yeast. A good product IMHO.

Re: Same Yeast 2 differnt manufactures???
I used the EC-1118 with the Gerber wash and thought it worked well. I will have to try it on the fruits as well. There is alot of good product out their. Now if I could convince my boss to pay me to mash and distill instead of machine I would be doing a hell of alot more trial and air runs...
Re: Same Yeast 2 differnt manufactures???
EC1118 is a good choice,but IMHO K1V1116 is a better choice for fruits.

Re: Same Yeast 2 differnt manufactures???
With many companies producing the same yeast, are they paying royalties or have other licensing agreement present?
With such established genetics, surely someone has patented or secured IP on that particular strain...?
I'm unsure about copyright/royalties/patents on brewing yeasts, but I am certainly interested to learn about it if anyone has any experience.

Re: Same Yeast 2 differnt manufactures???
most yeast comes from the wiled, from wine in France,beer in Belgian,rum from Jamaica etc. these are isolated and reproduced.
so you could have a patent on some proses or if you generic altered yeast.(like turbos) but most yeast start out wiled,so most are not patented.
