Has anybody used this yeast? If so what are your thoughts?

If you mean 71B-1122, I use it a lot for fruit ferments. That and D-47. It is good at somewhat lower temperatures, adds fruity esters and can make cuts fairly difficult but gives good results.

I'm not sure what you re trying to post but I can't see whatever it is. I think your images are too large.

Well if it looks like this
It's the yeast I'm talking about. Good for fruit, adds fruity esters, makes cuts hard, prefers temps around 65f, no hotter than 75 no colder than 50. I wouldn't use it for grain, I might for rum.
If it is this one
I'm pretty sure it's the same yeast but never used one with that label.

It doesn't have the 1122. But I am pretty sure it's the same. Thanks for your help. Also I hope your wife is doing well. I didn't post but both of you were in my thoughts.
