That was the very first yeast I used. Worked fine, but then I learned I could use bakers yeast that was cheaper, and never went back.

Awesome thanks. I have only used baker since the beginning. Just figured I'd branch out and see what else is out there. Figured with good notes (always take notes on everything) I could start getting good at pairing yeasts with washes.

I should amend this post. I have used ec1118 for apple brandy, and I have used safale 05 on my last sweet feed. I think I'm going to stick with bakers yeast on the sweet feed.
